Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. London: Faber & Faber, 1937. Second edition. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper, in typical Faber & Faber style of the period, is a beautifully produced thing, marred only by one closed tear at the top and tail of the spine, and some slight toning. It has not been price clipped (10s. 6d. net) and contains several page notations in pencil, presumably in Stokes s hand. The boards are sharp, with a faint but unfortunate band of toning to the top edge otherwise, there are no notable chips & marks. The text blocks are free from foxing. The ownership signature of Eric Walter White (1905-1985) is present on the front fly leaf, dated with the year of 1950. There are additional pencil marks, possibly in Walter White s hand, to the front and rear flaps, noting page numbers for specific areas of interest, and of Stokes s published works. Overall, this is a very good copy of an increasingly scarce work, owned and inscribed by a great writer on the arts and music. Eric Walter White was the former assistant secretary and literature director at the Arts Council of Great Britain. He was also the author of works on Igor Stravinsky, Benjamin Britten and A History of English Opera. Signed by Author(s).

Add to basket11½'' x 9ĵ'' Scrapbook with spine cracked and broken, the leaves are not loose or detached from the book. Hand coloured plate titled 'Fraisier' (wild strawberry pot) de Bernardin de St. Pierre, Papillons et Insectes d'Europe. The story around this plate has been narrated in various French Scientific and Literary classics, eg Oeuvres Completes de Bernardin de St. Pierre, under Etude Premiere Immensite de la Nature - page 3, second half - page 5 - and includes his related ref. to discovery of micro(be)-life by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and Robert Hooke (both mis-spelled) at top of page 5. Hand coloured plate titled Auricula de la Belgique / The Auricula of Belgium with No. 18 underneath. Beautiful arc of auriculas around the lady's head. Just an afterthought - if published at the same time - early 1830's, the origins might have been somewhat obscured eg. printed 'clandestinely' in France, who co-conspired with the Belgians to regain their 'freedom' - due to the Dutch rule / occupation of Belgium till 1831, as part of the redrawing of Europe after Napoleon. The Dutch wanted to suffocate the Belgian Book / Journal/ Educational printing press by imposing massive stamp duties, so they would have to buy from rich, mainly Amsterdam publishers. This was just one of many grievances, which led to the Belgian Revolution against the Dutch. A horrible, shameful 5 years of Dutch history - led by the then King William I and his acolytes. He was proud, and callous as he was dim. Monochrome plate SIGNED and dated A. Jenner, 1831, was done as a personalised engraving by the famous C. Heath (of Charles and William Heath Brothers). Later C. Heath generation became founders of Lloyds of London insurers. And much, much more. Heavy volume. Member of the P.B.F.A. SCRAPBOOK (Victorian Cuttings).
