1932
No. 179 of 307 copies, printed on handmade paper and signed by the author. Frontispiece, title-page and 8 wood engravings by Lynton Lamb. 8vo., original quarter red morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with printed patterned cloth incorporating the initials of the Press and the author, spine titled in gilt, top edge gilt, others uncut. Spine a little faded, extremely mild browning to free endpapers, very good.
The pages are beautifully designed by the expert printer Robert Gibbings who has incorporated the wood engravings with the text just perfectly. He was a master of design.
The story is splendid being an autobiographical account of Bates’s trip to Germany with Chalres Lahr (they are Richardson and Karl in the story).
