Beschreibung

Specially bound subscriber copy, using what appears to be a polished wax paper sometimes referred to as elephant hide; gilt decoration to front panel & spine, rather marked but little actual wear. A letter from the translator to the original owner has been tipped in on the half title; there is also a notation on the front board inner recording the gift of the book to its second owner. Also pasted in onto front flyleaf are the translator's obituary from The Times (9 July 1936), together with second similar from the Herald; small funeral notice pasted to the bottom of the author's letter. Boards slightly bowed top to bottom but binding good. There are pencil notations/underlinings on pp.vii-x, 8-9, 54-5 and a couple of ink notations on p.8. The translated verses have been printed with coloured capitals.
