THE "FIRST QUEER GUIDE TO LONDON" Small 8vo., original sea green publisher's cloth, decorated with device in navy blue to upper board, and lettered typographically to spine; map endpapers printed in red showing central London, including Green Park, Ox…ford Street and Buckingham Palace along with 50 different public restrooms; together in the exceedingly rare unclipped pictorial dustwrapper (3s. 6d. net to front flap), printed in red; pp. [viii], 71, [i]; text printed in black throughout, with decorative title page replicating the upper panel of the dustwrapper, and three further vignettes, all by Philip Gough; a very good copy, with some darkening to edges of boards, and sunning to spine tips, which are also lightly pushed; internally for the most part clean, with some light offsetting to p. [i] and [lxxii]; light spotting to the prelims, and just beginning to crack at gutter facing p. 1, with a little webbing showing beneath, but holding firm; the wrapper, seldom found at all, is here present in good condition; completely unrepaired or restored, both panels and spine toned, with darkening particularly affecting the backstrip; rubbing, nicks and chips to all ends of folds and spine; a 2cm closed tear running in to the front panel; the front flap beginning to split at fold, but holding; and a couple of discrete internal tape repairs; rare thus. First edition, first printing of this pinnacle work. Thomas Burke was born in 1886, and published his first work, 'The Bellamy Diamonds', in 1901. It was not until 1916, however, when he published 'Limehouse Nights', that he began to receive greater critical acclaim. The book, a collection of short stories centring around Chinese immigrants, earned him the nickname 'the laureate of London's Chinatown'. Spurred on by the (somewhat controversial) fame, Burke continued to write on the subject of London and its environs, and increasingly began to incorporate the city's homosexual communities. In 1922 he published The London Spy, openly describing the existence of such relationships thus: "Only in the misty corners of the thickening streets…can [homosexual couples] attain the solitude they seek…For the young lover…the street is more private than the home." His pseudonym, Paul Pry, is likely taken from John Poole's 1825 farce where the protagonist, going by the same name, deliberately leaves his umbrella behind in a series of locations so that he might return to the scene and eavesdrop on conversations. The similarity between these two characters is, of course, obvious. Fifteen years after The London Spy, For your Convenience was published, somewhat bafflingly, by Routledge. The guide takes as its subject two members of the Thélème Club, Mr. Mumble and the 'doyen' of the club, who meet over a copy of the Sanitary World and Drainage Observer. Their discussion turns to the subject of where 'relief' may be found in London, supposedly after excessive consumption of tea or lager. They continue to discuss "places of that kind which have no attendants" and which "afford excellent rendezvous to people who wish to meet out of doors and yet escape the eye of the Busy [policemen]". The book ends when the pair retire to the bathroom together ("Lead on, my boy, lead on…"). The illustrations, including the highly important endpaper maps, have here been provided by the illustrator Philip Gough (1908-1956), and bear a striking resemblance to the work of Rex Whistler. Comical maps such as these were highly popular at the time, with this particular example featuring an elephant in Regent's Park, a mermaid in the Thames, and two men proudly brandishing toilet brushes in the corners of the margins. Unprecedented predominantly because of its early publication date, this fascinating and important guide outlines, through suggestion and innuendo, where men could meet other like-minded men in an era when homosexuality was still illegal, both in public and in private. Rare indeed in the dustwrapper. Philip Gough (illustrator).

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Burke, Thomas/ Pry, Paul (pen name), For Your Convenience: A Learned Dialogue, Instructive to All Londoners & London Visitors, Overheard in the Thélème Club and Taken Down Verbatimi, George Routledge and Sons (1937). First Edition. Teal blue boards with a titled spine and front board,…and the iconic cartographic endpapers detailing the location of public bathrooms in the city. Very minor rubbing to corners and internally clean with very occasional spotting and a small split to the text block that does not affect integrity or text. Overall, an uncommonly clean copy of this scarce work, Very Good. The first gay guide to London, written in subtlety and innuendo, and in the form of a dialogue of two characters discussing where men might meet in the city, and discussing the various loos in the city where one might take relief after drinking, with the desirable Philip Gough designed endpapers showing all of the tourist sites of London, but every public bathroom that a man might meet another, or retire to. Obviously, this was published when homosexuality was still illegal, and so Routledge would presumably have been none the wiser when it was released, and given its scarcity, and that only twelve libraries have a copy (worldcat), many were possibly destroyed when the publisher realised.

He was best known for his published engravings which included caricatures, political cartoons, and commentary on contemporary life. His early works often dealt with military scenes, including colour plates for The Martial Achievements, The Wars of Wellington, etc.[4], but from about 1820 on he focused on satire. Between 1827 and 1829, many of his works were published under the pseudonym Paul Pry (the name of an overly inquisitive stage character in a popular 1825 stage comedy by John Poole; also used the pseudonym Argus. He was described by Dr John Brown, biographer of John Leech as poor Heath, the ex-Captain of Dragoons, facile and profuse, unscrupulous and clever. See WIKI.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The first Gay guide to London, with the earliest printed map of the city's "cottages," i.e. public houses. It takes the form of a dialogue, a fairly ridiculous conversation between two gentlemen, ostensibly a guide to public loos throughout the town, as places where men migh…t meet . "Though not out of doors." A hilarious innuendo ensues, and one can only imagine that the sedate publisher's (Routledge) were at the start totally innocent of the fact, it being strictly against the law and thoroughly subversive.Philip Gough's map shows the major tourist draws, but also slips in fifty "Cottage's," un-named but fairly obvious.There is a tiny amount of foxing to the maps, and at the bottom of the front map there is a short 1/2" split at the base of the centre line. There are very few even in Public Collections. Was this possibly because the title was withdrawn early by the publishers? 5" x 7 1/2".
