Add to basketFirst and only edition, signed limited issue, number 22 of 177 numbered copies signed by the author; here presented to Maurice Healy. This account of the Crimean service of Edward Rowe Fisher-Rowe, 4th Dragoon Guards, is based on his letters to his father. It is uncommon, with just four copies located in institutional holdings, all in the UK. Ye Sette of Odd Volumes was a London-based eccentric, scholarly dining club founded by Bernard Quaritch in 1878. "Surviving ephemera material relating to the society largely consists of invitations, programmes and menus for events" (History of Science Museum). The attractive illustrations are the work of the great typographer and book-designer Berthold Wolpe who, fleeing the Nazis, had settled in England in 1935. Provenance: the author and Irish lawyer Maurice Healy (1816-1894), was a member of Ye Sette of Odd Volumes, with the pseudonym "Prattler". Cross H84. History of Science Museum, Collections Database, accessible online. Duodecimo. With hand-coloured title-page border and 3 hand-coloured vignettes by Berthold Wolpe, double-page half-tone map. Original grey wrappers, vignette on front cover. Spine toned, some foxing. A very good copy.
