The World Of Jean de Bosschere.
London: The Fortune Press, n.d. [1932]. First edition. Limited Edition of 1000 copies. Hardcover. 160pp, uncut, and largely unopened. Printed by the Whitefriars Press on Kelmscott hand-made paper, #623/1,000. This is one of the favoured copies with an additional signed coloured print bound in at the title. However, although that is very nice, in common with at least some other copies (other sellers please note!), there has been some negligence as to the inclusion in the book of a full complement of the 21 listed plates - only 18 are actually present. This can perhaps be overlooked, as a profusion of other images fill the book. Aside from some faint tanning to the endpapers, the contents are immaculate. c.22x15.5cms, top edge yellow. In the original binding of off-white cloth, spine titled in gilt, all bright, clean and sharp, in a (possibly original?) waxed paper jacket, which is fraying a little to the top edge. There is a slight darkening to the very top edges of the cloth. An extremely nice copy. Fine. Item #19320061
