John Lane, The Bodley Head: 1909. First. Good. Verso of half-title shows single advertisement; By the same author, In A Tuscan Garden, with numerous illustrations. The author, Georgina Grahame, is not otherwise mentioned on the title page or elsewhere. Grahame, an aunt of Kenneth Grahame of "The Wind in the Willows" fame penned, In A Tuscan Garden in 1902, also anonymously; the book proved very popular with gardeners. In her unpublished recollections, Grahame s daughter Annie, reveals the author to have been her mother, Mrs Georgina S. Grahame. The John Lane archive at the Harry Ransom Center in Texas also contains correspondence between John Lane, who published the book under the Bodley Head imprint, and Georgina Grahame. (See Tuscany-Toscana/Blogspot by Anna Marai Baldini for exptenisive research on Grahem and the surroundings described in the two works). Hardcover with Mid-Blue cloth covers, gold lettering cover and spine, white ruled lines border front cover. The Bodley Head at base of spine; this along with printers note make this the English binding rather than the contemporaneous American edition. Ex-library (Port Clyde Maine, Free Library), minimal markings. Binding square and tight. Light shelf wear to head, tail, and corners. Substantial spotting/foxing evident in front and rear matter as pictured, bulk of text block is fairly clean, but foxing does reappear occasionaly. No markings aside from occasional library stamp. Rough cut page edges and gold gilt to top. 8 B/W photgraphs, the frontispiece shows Alinari, the enduring and renowned Florentine photo agency. But for foxing, this would rate Very Good. 2202-1-BC4-4. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2202-1
