Item description from seller

A wartime poetic work, Mon Chant de Guerre, by Fritz R. Vanderpyl, issued in Paris during the First World War. This copy is preserved in its original printed wrappers, retaining its fragile as-issued format, and is notable for a full-page authorial inscription to a named recipient: Pour Mademoiselle Marcelle Herbet, avec mon hommage cordial signed Vanderpyl The inscription is written in a fluid contemporary hand and adds a personal dimension to the volume, situating it within a direct author-to-recipient context. The book remains in good, unrestored condition, with: Noticeable wear, creasing, and edge chipping to wrappers Old reinforcement at spine and corners Toning and light spotting throughout Internally complete, with inscription clear and legible Mon Chant de Guerre belongs to the body of literary output produced during the First World War, reflecting the emotional and cultural climate of the period in France. Fritz R. Vanderpyl, a journalist and writer active in early 20th-century Paris, contributed to the wider wartime literary landscape, where poetry and prose often intersected with contemporary events and sentiment. The presence of an authorial inscription to Marcelle Herbet transforms this copy from a standard wartime publication into a personal presentation copy, offering a tangible connection between author and recipient. Such copies provide insight into the circulation of literary works within contemporary social and intellectual circles. Condition; Good (Original wrappers, worn; edge chipping and creasing; spine reinforced; toning and spotting; internally complete; inscription clear) Offered by Atlas Rare Books, specialists in rare and antiquarian books.…
