Beschreibung

Not a book but this is the ultra rare original pictorial 1929 dust wrapper from the equally rare book, written by the great-grand-niece of Jane Austen. The book itself is the story of the love and marriage of one of Jane Austen's minor characters, from Sense and Sensibility, Margaret Dashwood, and tells of the interference in her affairs by John Dashwood, Sir John Middleton, Mrs Jennings, Elinor Ferrers and Marianne Brandon. The wrapper's provenance is that it was in a collection once owned by Christina Foyle of Foyle's Bookshop in London and was purchased in an auction of her effects over 0 years ago. Most attractive pink, black and turquoise artwork by Althea Willoughby (1904 - 1982). Rather coincidental that she shares her unusual surname with the character John Willoughby from Sense and Sensibility! The dust wrapper is in as-new, crisp condition with just two little nicks to the paper, one at the base of the rear panel and one half way up the rear flap.It was clearly taken from the book when new and put into storage. Apart from the auction, this is the only time it has been offered for sale. If you are lucky enough to own a copy of the book - this will be a marriage made in heaven, adding terrific value. If you're just simply a fan of all things Jane Austen, then you could frame this and it would grace your living room wall! Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8787
