Condition: New. 2003 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1934). SB. 360pp. 7 b/w photos and self portrait (drawing) frontispiecePublished Price £14.50 This outstanding memoir, introduced by Winston Churchill, who describes it as a vivid book, provides a very close view of the fighting on the Western Front as seen with French eyes from the English Staff. In the words of Sir William Robertson Maze became an "institution", in fact he was unique and his story is a terrific one, undoubtedly one of the best of all personal accounts of the fighting. It begins with his watching the BEF disembarking at Havre in August 1914 and among the cavalry he noted a regiment with grey horses. He decided to join up with them as interpreter and get to the war with them. He was taken on with the Royal Scots Greys and was with them at Mons and through the retreat. At one point he got lost in 2nd Division's area and was taken off to be shot as a spy. Fortunately an officer of the Greys saw and recognized him otherwise his war would have come to an abrupt end. From the Greys he was taken on by Gough, then commanding 2nd Cavalry Division, and he followed him to Corps and Army, and when Gough was relieved of command in 1918 he went to Rawlinson. He served them all as a combination of scout, liaison officer and interpreter. His courage and self-devotion were selfless. Year after year, in battle after battle he was always in the thick of it bringing back trustworthy, lucid and increasingly experienced information. He gained the complete confidence of the highest commanders and could walk straight in to the presence of the Army commander to make his report. He was wounded four times and awarded the DCM, MM and Bar. A truly remarkable man with a truly remarkable story. Book.…

Hardcover. First edition, second printing. This inscribed presentation copy of the First World War memoirs of French painter Paul Maze is noteworthy in multiple respects. The text for the author's singular perspective. The edition for featuring a compelling and contemplative introduction by Winston S. Churchill, Maze's friend and fellow painter. This particular copy for a warm inscription by the author.The inscription, inked in black in two lines on the title page, reads: "Pour mon ami Daber | Paul Maze". The identity of the recipient is unverified. However, a two-line stamp in purple ink reading "D. CLAIROUIN" above the Paris address "66, Rue de Miromensnil - VIII" was applied to the lower white stripe of the dust jacket's front face, to the front free endpaper recto, to the half title recto, and to the frontispiece verso. These are the only ownership marks apart from the author's inscription. Laid in is a contemporary newspaper clipping, a lengthy original review of the book from the 21 October 1934 issue of the Sunday Times.This inscribed presentation copy is the second printing of the first edition, which occurred in November 1934, the month following the October 1934 first printing. Condition is very good minus in a fair dust jacket. The khaki cloth binding printed in blue is square, tight, and unfaded with modest shelf wear to extremities and some soiling and toning to the lower spine, corresponding to a dust jacket loss. The contents retain a bright appearance and crisp feel, with spotting primarily confined to the prelims and page edges. The dust jacket is unclipped, retaining the original lower front flap price. There is loss to the spine ends, extending onto the adjacent faces, as well as smaller loss to the lower edge of the rear face and to the flap fold corners. The jacket retains bright color but shows overall soiling and spotting and is now protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.Paul Lucien Maze (1887-1979) was regarded as one of the great artists of his generation and "learned the rudiments of painting from family friends that included Renoir, Monet, Dufy and Pissarro." In August 1914, Maze found himself admiring British troops disembarking at Le Havre and, improbably, asked to be taken to the front with them. More astonishingly still, his request was granted. Thus began an odyssey that saw Maze spend the majority of the war accompanying, supporting, keenly observing, sketching, and admiring the British Army. A Frenchman in Khaki is his account."He got to know and sketch every mile of the blood-stained soil of France and Flanders occupied by the British army." (Sunday Times review, 21 October 1934) The dust jacket's front and rear flaps feature an extended excerpt from Churchill's Introduction, which praises not only Maze's unique perspective and proven courage, but also says of Maze that he "perceived the beauties of light and shade, of form and colour, of which even the horrors of war cannot rob the progress of the sun."On the front in 1916, Maze met Winston Churchill, who was serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the trenches during his political exile following the Dardanelles disaster. Churchill had only recently discovered painting, a passion Maze encouraged as both a close friend and mentor for the rest of Churchill's life.Reference: Cohen B56, Woods B25.…

Hardcover. First edition, first printing. This inscribed presentation copy of the first edition of the First World War memoirs of French painter Paul Maze is noteworthy in multiple respects. The text for the author's singular perspective. The edition for featuring a compelling and contemplative introduction by Winston S. Churchill, Maze's friend and fellow painter. This copy for a warm inscription by the author and an additionally inscribed and signed presentation card.The inscription, inked in black in five lines on the half title, reads: "For [indecipherable] Broadwood, | whose help and kindness | the author will remember | Paul Maze". An additional signed note laid in, inked in black in nine lines on a 4.5 x 3.5 in. (11.4 x 8.9 cm) piece of heavy card, reads: "Dear Mr. Broadwood - | Here is a small token | of my appreciation of your | kindness & help with my | book | yours very sincerely | Paul Maze. | Star Hotel | 14 Chelsea Embankment." The identity of "Mr. Broadwood" is unverified.Also laid in are two newspaper clippings, the first a lengthy original review of the book from the 21 October 1934 issue of the Sunday Times, the second an "In Memoriam" notice dated 11 October 1979 detailing the who's who attendance at Maze's funeral service.Condition of this inscribed presentation copy of the first printing is good plus in a good plus dust jacket. The strikingly illustrated binding khaki cloth with tricolor bands spanning the upper and lower covers and spine is tight and clean with sharp corners and just light shelf wear to hinges and extremities. The binding has a mild forward lean and the white bands show a little mottling, corresponding to spotting on the dust jacket. The contents retain a bright appearance. Spotting to the page edges, most pronounced to the fore edge, is light within, primarily confined to the preliminary blanks and half title. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponding to the dust jacket flaps corroborates that this presentation copy has spent life jacketed. Some smudging to the upper right front free endpaper is ostensibly from a dirty eraser. This is the only evidence of previous ownership apart from the author's inscription and note card. The dust jacket, mirroring the binding in design and hues, is unclipped, retaining the lower front flap price. There is intermittent shallow chipping along the top edge to a maximum depth of .375 in. (.95 cm), lesser, fractional chipping to the bottom edge, spotting to the white bands and white flap fold borders, and mild, uniform spine toning. The jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.Paul Lucien Maze (1887-1979) was regarded as one of the great artists of his generation and "learned the rudiments of painting from family friends that included Renoir, Monet, Dufy and Pissarro."
