2nd Edition 1926. Presentation inscription from the author. New wrapper design based on the first edition version. The book came from the library of George G Hopkinson from Heaton, Bradford and was probably sent by Doyle to him. Mr George G Hopkinson, a Yorkshire textile businessman who was a director of a West Riding textile company, Hopkinson and Shore and of Novello’s, a Bradford fashion house. Hopkinson used it to promote culture in Bradford, inviting contributions from such literati as George Bernard Shaw, Kenneth Grahame, Hugh Walpole and the city’s own son, JB Priestley. The Heaton Review, the “Northern miscellany of art and literature” which Hopkinson edited from 1929 to 1934. A very well-respected literary journal in its day. In 1931, he met Mahatma Gandhi during his tour of Northern textile mills and asked him to sign a drawing of himself by the Leeds artist, Jacob Kramer. Hopkinson later asked Gandhi to contribute to his arts journal, The Heaton Review – but by that time he was imprisoned in Poona and replied that he was forbidden correspondence with the press. He had strong liberal beliefs and was very passionate about art and culture in Bradford and the West Riding of Yorkshire, and publicly called for the establishment of a university in Bradford. George Hopkinson also was president between 1945 and 1947 of The Bradford Textile Society and was for many years also the editor of its annual publication, The Journal. In June 1963, as President of the Bradford Arts Club, he hosted an exhibition entitled “The Collection of a Wanderlust in Art” which included 140 paintings and drawings from his private collection, which at that time contained three works by a little known but up-and-coming Bradford artist called David Hockney. Book is very good++ and quite bright. Contents good. Light foxing to page edges and some pages. The wrapper is very good and quite bright. Edges rubbed and nicked. Longish closed repaired tear/loss with infill to top edge. A few more small closed tears to the edges. Quite a nice example. More images can be taken upon request.RefA1234.…
