Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
First edition.
In publisher's original orange cloth binding. With clipped dust wrapper.
Tipped-in bookplate of F. G. Miles.
Illustrated with a frontispiece and fifteen photographic plates, some of which are double-sided. Collated, complete.
Lovely summary of the life's travels of renowned English writer Sir Osbert Sitwell across the four continents of Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Much of this work relates to the post-war period, featuring his musings on art and literature in the wake of destruction and development.
Condition
In publisher's original orange cloth binding. With clipped dust wrapper. Tipped-in bookplate of F. G. Miles. Externally, very smart with only slight bumping and rubbing, alongside subtle marking and discolouration. Dust wrapper features more moderate spotting and discolouration with a few small closed tears to edges. Internally, firmly bound. Very bright and clean with only minor spotting, predominantly to the first and last few pages.
