The sole UK printing published by The Golden Cockerel Press, UK in 1935. This is number '32' of 60 specially-bound copies signed by the author to the limitation page, from a total edition of 325 copies [Chanticleer 106]. The BOOK is in near Fine condition, bound in the publisher's original green morocco, by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt titling to the spine. Top edge gilt, others uncut. A hint of offsetting to the blank end-papers. A wood-engraved pictorial title and 4 striking B/W plates by John Nash. With an additional suite of the 4 B/W wood-engraved plates on Japon, each signed in pencil by John Nash, loose in a paper envelope. The plates are in Fine condition with just a hint of creasing to the extreme outer edges of one of the plates. With the publisher's Prospectus loosely laid in, which contains one specimen plate. Although the prospectus does not mention this, the separate suite of wood engravings were only issued in a limitation of 12 sets and were unnumbered and signed by the illustrator ( 1.25 Clare Colvin : John Nash Book Designs :1986). The set accompanying this book is clearly one of the scarce 12 sets. Housed in a custom cloth solander box with a leather titled label to spine. A very handsome production and extremely elusive with such attributes. Only the second copy we have handled. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.…
