First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Photographs of the homes of English poets. Quarto hardback. 1st edition 1951. Jacket has some rubbing and creasing to its extremities. Chipped loss to spine, approx 1 by 2 inches in extent. Price-clipped. Ex-owner's name penned on front pastedown. The covers show some mottling towards their edges, possibly due to mold bloom, caused by temporary storage in humid conditions. This issue is now allayed by storage in conditions of correct low humidity. This can cause permanent musty odor in severe cases - fortunately not the case with this copy. 'The well-known photographer, Bill Brandt, spent more than a year travelling about Britain to take these hundred photographs of scenes, buildings and interiors associated with British writers of prose and verse especially for this book. Brandt's artistry lies in feeling, as well as seeing, with his camera; his skill captures in a photograph of a landscape, or the interior of a room, the spirit of the place as it was captured by a great writer of the past. You can open the book at his photograph of Glamis Castle and see, with Macbeth, Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane, or at a photograph of Wuthering Heights and sense again the forbidding spirit of Emily Brontë's classic.Each of these hundred photographs is reproduced on a right-hand page. On the page facing appears the name of the writer and a relevant quotation from his work. These left-hand pages are printed in a neutral colour to add contrast to the intense blacks and whites of Brandt's photographs. The book is introduced by Mr John Hayward, who gives some helpful suggestions as to the pleasures which can be derived from this remarkable combination of an author's work with the scenes which inspired it and the places in which he lived and wrote. This is the most distinguished book of photographs that has appeared in this country for some years. Beyond all qualities of literary enjoyment, humour, technical ability, the outstanding impression the book makes is one of beauty.'.

First Edition Signed
First edition, first impression, with an exceptional provenance: inscribed by Brandt on the front free endpaper, "To Lyena from Bill, July 1951". Lyena Barjanksy, along with Brandt and his future wife Eva Boros, formed an inseparable ménage a trois during the late 1920s; the two women were Brandt's "constant companions, travelling and living together throughout continental Europe" (Meister, p. 15). Brandt met Lyena Barjansky when he was in his early twenties, living in Vienna, and part of the "brilliant artistic circle of Dr Eugenie Schwarzwald" (ODNB). Barjanksy was a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, "the daughter of a Jewish businessman from Odessa, who had been imprisoned by the Reds for being a capitalist. When the Whites re-captured the city, in 1919, Barjansky got on a boat to Trieste with his wife and daughter, and went on to set up a textile business in Vienna. Despite his troubles with the Reds, Lyena's father was an open-minded man who sent her to the bohemian and mildly left-wing school for girls run by Dr Eugenie Schwarzwald. Lyena was a tall, cheerful, outgoing young woman, with an emotionally direct approach that fits the stereotype of 'typically Russian'. Lyena first met Brandt walking in the woods above Salmannsdorf and found him 'incredibly handsome. like Jesus Christ'. She fell head-over-heels in love with Brandt and worshipped him for the rest of his life" (Paul Delany, Bill Brandt: A Life, 2004, p. 37). At the time of Brandt's inscription, Lyena was married to dancer, choreographer, and pioneering jazz critic Roger Pryor Dodge. Presentation copies of Literary Britain, Brandt's wonderfully evocative study of writers and their landscapes, are certainly scarce. Sarah Hermanson Meister, Bill Brandt: Shadow & Light (2013). Quarto. Original green cloth, title to spine gilt on a red ground, pale brown coated endpapers. With supplied dust jacket. 100 full-page illustrations from photographs by Brandt. Price-clipped jacket with closed tear at head of front panel, slight abrasion to image, other nicks chips and light rubbing but overall very presentable. Spine bumped and slightly faded, a few light marks to front cover, small punctures to front free endpaper and half-title where a note has previously been pinned. A good copy.
