Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. LEWITT-HIM (Jan Le Witt and George Him). The Football's Revolt. London: Country Life Ltd., 1939. First edition. 4to (285 × 220 mm). 28 pp. Colour-illustrated throughout, with text and images by the design partnership Lewitt-Him. Original pictorial boards, yellow cloth spine. Light soiling and mottling to cloth and boards, corners lightly rubbed, contents clean and fresh, colours bright. A small pencil price of 2/6 to the front cover and early ownership inscription to front free endpaper (dated 1941). The Polish émigré artists Jan Le Witt (1907-1991) and George Him (1900-1982), who settled in Britain in 1937, quickly established themselves as leading figures in modernist graphic design. The Football's Revolt is one of their first books produced in London, combining humorous text with vividly stylised illustrations. Its narrative — in which a football match descends into absurdist chaos as objects and crowds take on lives of their own and a football gets stuck in the air, provided an ideal showcase for them. The book was popular enough to be reissued by Country Life in the 1940s, during the Second World War, though this original 1939 printing is the true first edition.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Documents the career of the Polish design duo Jan Le Witt and George Him.

Paris, Éditions Cercle d'Art, [1972]. 172 pp. Col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (clothbound), d./j.French-language monograph on Jan Le Witt (1907-1991). He was a Polish-born British abstract artist, graphic designer and illustrator.

Hardcover. First Edition. about 30 pgs. During the wartime and years to follow they became one of the most influential partnerships in Britain and their illustration style influenced a generation of younger illustrators such as Jack Townend, Hilary Stebbing and many others. Working under the name Lewitt-Him, George Him and Jan Le Witt, who began working together in Warsaw in 1933, arrived in London in 1937. They had already produced some ground-breaking children's books such as Locomotive (1938, first published in Poland) based on the text by the distinguished Polish poet Julian Tuwin. Once in England, the pair created several high-quality children's books, being among the first illustrators working in the UK to introduce modernist elements for this age-group: their style leaned towards abstraction and borrowed elements from Surrealism and Cubism. A typical example is Blue Peter (1943), with text by Jan Le Witt's wife, Alina. This story about a blue dog born to a white mother who is persecuted but eventually finds a home on Blue Dog Island is a parable that no doubt appealed to George Him, a Jew who witnessed the Russian Revolution, and was living through the persecutions and atrocities of the Holocaust at the time of publication.
