Item description from seller

A very scarce copy of Robertson's comic opera; a smart first edition. The first edition of this very scarce work in the publisher's original paper wraps. Walford Graham Robertson (1866-1948) was a British painter, illustrator and author, who was associated with many notable people, including Oscar Wilde. He designed costumes for Sarah Bernhardt and Ellen Terry, and was an important collector of art. He donated over twenty works of art to the Tate Gallery in London. This very scarce work is a first edition copy of Robertson's comic opera, The Fountain of Youth, which was produced in the Lyric Theatre in 1931. Alfred Reynolds composed the music. In the publisher's original paper wraps. Externally, wraps are generally smart, though a little sunned to the spine and to the perimeters of the wraps. Small closed tear to the tail of the spine, causing the backstrip to lift a little. Small mark to the bottom of the front of the wraps. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good.…
