About this Item
8vo. Pp. xvii, [2], 10-313. Bound in dark red cloth, lettering and publisher logo stamped in black on spine. Cloth unevenly faded; former owner bookplate of Paul Jordan Smith on front pastedown. In the illustrated dust jacket that shows edge-wear and age-toning, especially on spine; closed tear running along fold between front panel and spine for three inches. Price of 7/6 intact on front flap. Former owner Jordan-Smith was the American lecturer and scholar of English literature whose art movement, "Disumbrationism," was eventually revealed as a hoax. Wilbur Jordan Smith, his son, ran UCLA Special Collections from 1950s-1970 or so. The dust jacket illustration by Herry Perry is quintessentially British for the era, albeit a bit dated and seems stylistically more in keeping with 1925 than '33. Dust jacket is now enclosed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. Seller Inventory # 6305
