Condition: Very Good. Illustrated Anna K. Zinkeisen. (illustrator). [c.1930s.]. Moss Bros & Co. Ltd. London. [c.1930s.] Paperback, 8vo; illustrated stapled wrappers. [16 pages.] Two-tone line drawings by Zinkeisen. English. 240x160mm. 0.1kg. Very good; slight shelf wear, short 1 cm tear to fore-edge of front wrapper, slight rusting to staples. An amusing 1930s advertising brochure for Moss Bros outfitters, with illustrations by Anna Zinkeisen. The brochure takes the format of a short play written by "Hugo Backgammon", in which the protagonist, finding himself dispossessed of all his clothes, is suited and booted by the helpful fitters at Moss Bros. The comic plot has a Wodehousian quality, heightened by Zinkeisen's humourous illustrations. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. We welcome questions about our books and we are happy to provide any extra images. Buy with confidence from an experienced bookseller.
