Contact seller1-star sellerThe Ward Ritchie Press was founded in 1932, though Ritchie also produced a number of student publications. Ritchie graduated from Occidental College in 1928, and so it was understandable why he was asked to produce this handbook. In addition to being a sample of the master type-designerÕs early work, it is an interesting glimpse… into the life of girls attending a good liberal arts college in the thirties. ÒThe standard of Occidental womanhood has always been held high, and we are dependent upon you, the new women, to carry on its purposeÉOccidental does not try to pattern all women after the same moldÑrather she urges each woman to keep her own individuality, and through this individuality to contribute to Occidental and to its membersÓ (Ruth MacCluer, A.W.S.President). 5Ó x 3 .Ó 51 pp. Frontispiece, with portraits of the officers of the Associated WomenÕs Students of Occidental College, and other campus women leaders. Typographical vignette on title-page, decorative headbands. Mauve wrappers, stapled at spine, with title in black on front cover. Wrappers slightly creased and lightly toned. Small chip and minor tear to crown of spine. Pages untrimmed. A very good, clean copy. The Ward Ritchie Press and Anderson, Ritchie & Simon, p. 70.

Quarto, bound in full modern morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling and detailing to the front and rear panels, all edges gilt, gilt turn-in…s and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, with color illustrations and initial decorations. Boldly signed by designer and printer Ward Ritchie and illustrator Robert Shore on the colophon page at the rear. One of 1,500 numbered copies, this is number 511. In fine condition. Introduction by Leo Gurko. Illustrations by Robert Shore. Designed and printed by Ward Ritchie at The Ward Ritchie Press. Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad is widely considered one of the greatest novelists of the English language. Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew, among other things, on his native Poland's national experiences and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated worldâ"including imperialism and colonialismâ"and that profoundly explore the human psyche. Youth: A Narrative; Typhoon; The End of the Tether by Joseph Conrad is a collection of three maritime novellas that explore themes of endurance, disillusionment, and the psychological burden of duty through the lens of seafaring life. In Youth, Conrad presents a nostalgic reflection on the idealism of early manhood, while Typhoon examines a captainâs stoic resolve amid natural catastrophe, emphasizing the moral dimensions of leadership. The End of the Tether offers a more somber meditation on aging, isolation, and the quiet heroism of a captain confronting blindness and obsolescence. Together, the stories form a thematically unified study of character under duress, showcasing Conradâs mastery of impressionistic style, interior monologue, and maritime realism.
