Dust Jacket worn with loss to spine and corner of front cover. Time Was Away is a book about Corsica, the result of a close artistic collaboration between a poet and a painter. The book contains over fifty illustrations, including eight in full colour, portraits of famous Corsican historical figures, maps and a number of poems. "'It was rugged travel; the hotels where we stayed were basic and often dirty. We lived on bread, cheese, figs, pastis and wine. The bus journeys were slow and suffocating, with long stops for no particular reason. One day we would be languishing in the humid heat of an estuary, the next exhilarated by sweet mountain air, waking to forests and mountains. We never saw an English person, and hardly any French, except at Calvi and Ile-Rousse towards the end of our trip.".

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing), in the scarce first issue binding of yellow buckram, blocked in green at the backstrip with gilt lettering and decoration. Tall 8vo. xiv, 189pp. Minton contributes a frontispiece, a title page decoration, eight full-page colour plates, 42 full-page black and white plates, and 39 further black and white tail-pieces and drawings in the text. A very light scattering of spotting to the top edge, and a trace of bruising to the backstrip ends. Free endpapers and pastedowns spotted, and with a tiny dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown. Very good indeed in the magnificent double-spread pictorial colour dust wrapper, non-price-clipped (21s. net), but lightly rubbed at several extremities, with a short jagged tear to the base of the front panel, a three-inch tear to the front panel-front flap fold, and a minute area of enclosed loss from the spine panel. A quite wonderful production, and most uncommon in this correct first issue binding.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Minton, John (illustrator). 1st Edition. A very beautiful travel book, with an astonishing amount of John Minton's atmospheric illustrations - from the tiny page headers to the full colour lithographs and many, many in black and white.the book is bound in brilliant lemon yellow with a lengthwise green spine label with gold titles, but, alas, no jacket. There is very minor, faint foxing to the top of the back paste down endpaper, and a few faint fox prints to top page edges. On the Faber site, it was reckoned to be one of the most important travel books since World War II.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by John Lehmann, London in 1948. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Original publisher's yellow buckram boards with green titling and decoration to the spine. This is the second state binding of the first printing (The first state had the binding of yellow buckram stamped in green and gilt on the spine). Some light pushing at the spine ends and mild bumping to the lower front corners. Internally clean. The fragile WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. Light edge-wear at the spine ends and corners. A few small closed tears and a little toning to the spine and flap edges. Some very superficial rubbed areas to the spine and a very tiny area of loss to the front flap fold, which are barely discernible. The wraparound wrapper artwork by John Minton looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. 8 colour plates, and over 50 black and white drawings, mainly full-page, by John Minton. Alan Ross and John Minton's artistic collaboration and ode to the island of Corsica. Ross and Minton were commissioned by the publisher John Lehmann to travel to Corsica and put together a book of words and images. They visited the island in the post-war summer of 1947. The resulting travelogue contains history, descriptions, impressions, maps, stories, poems and illustrations. Minton's Neo-Romantic illustrations perfectly capture the heat and spirit of the island and the book is arguably his most successful and influential illustrated work. The title comes from the Louis MacNeice line - 'Time was away and somewhere else.' [Spalding, Frances. John Minton. Dance Till The Stars Come Down. 2005. p. 109-14.]. One of the nicest copies that we have handled to date and now increasingly elusive in collectible condition. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
