Beschreibung

First edition, one of 490 standard copies (from a total edition of 550). Large 4to. 141pp. Cloth-backed patterned paper-covered boards, lettered in gold at the spine. An eleven-page introductory essay by Simon Brett precedes a brief biography followed by a lavishly illustrated 108-item catalogue, with an illustration accompanying each entry and including eleven tipped-in colour reproductions. A fine copy. No dust wrapper called for, but housed in the original cloth-covered slip case, also fine. Laid-in are two copies of the addendum sheet, issued three years later and detailing one further Nash engraving brought to the attention of the editor since the original publication ('Bibliographical Notes on T.E.Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom and Revolt in the Desert' by T.German-Reed with a title page decoration by Nash). Also laid-in are pre-publication prospectuses for three further Wood Lea Press titles: 'John Nash's Cats', 'The Graphic Work of Edward Wadsworth' and 'The Complete Wood-Engravings and Linocuts of Margaret Bruce Wells'. A flawless example of a very handsome production. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 20119
