Beschreibung

Liberty-patterned cloth, leather lettering-label. Spine very faintly faded, but a nice copy. Edition limited to 150 numbered copies, this copy inscribed by the illustrator to her mentor in wood-engraving, "for Yvonne Skargon - for putting this book my way. With love & thanks. Linda Holmes"; publisher's printed prospectus loosely inserted. "Linda Holmes, our illustrator, is an English wood engraver who left a career with the BBC to work for a degree in history at Cambridge and subsequently. devoted herself to the difficult art of wood engraving," the prospectus declares. "Her illustrations beautifully reflect Shaw's world and with appropriately humorous touches enhance his argument. Holmes studied with Simon Brett and Yvonne Skargon and has exhibited with the Society of Wood Engravers since 1990.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5eB100046C
