Beschreibung

First edition, limited to 400 numbered copies [this being #36]. A presentation copy, inscribed thus: "With best wishes to Allen Freer, Edward Bawden". Tall 8vo. Unpaginated. Blue buckram lettered in gold at the spine with embossed diamond patterning to the upper and lower boards. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Bawden contributes a title page decoration, one full-page drawing and nine header pieces and decorations in the text. The backstrip a little faded, the corner tips very gently chafed and one of them knocked. Free endpapers very lightly browned. Very good indeed. No dust wrapper, almost certainly as issued. Allen Freer, the recipient of Bawden's inscription, was a noted collector of British twentieth century art, and a long-time friend and supporter of Bawden (he organised his 1986 exhibition at Manchester Cathedral). Freer's extensive art collection, amassed over a period of sixty years, was auctioned at Christie's in January 2020. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers BC16228
