About This Item
London: John G Wilson, 1922. 1st Edition . Hardback. Good Plus. First edition, hardback bound with yellow cloth spine and paper covered boards. Gilt titling to spine and paper title label to upper board. 19.5 × 13cm, 210pp. This copy has been signed and dedicated by the editor, William Kean Seymour, to Val St Cyr. Val St. Cyr, born Arthur Andrews Hilder in Kent in 1890, worked as a fashion designer for Madame Handley-Seymour during the First World War. Afterwards, in 1921, he linked up with Ernest Pacey Sands to co-found the London-based fashion house Baroque Ltd., which ran from 1921 to the early 1960s. A collection of his fashion drawings can be found in the V&A, where this info comes from. A nice collection of poetry from the early twenties, including Lascelles Abercrombie, Richard Aldington, Edmund Blunden, G K Chesterton, W H Davies, Walter de la Mare, Robert Graves, D H Lawrence, T Sturge Moore, and Vita Sackville-West to name but a few. Condition: A nice copy but with some tanning and marking to the spine and light wear to the boards edges. The inner binding is secure, the pages slightly age-toned.
