About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz, 1964. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (some chipping in protective sleeve); red boards, gilt spine titling bright; pages crisp, some browning on edges.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Sebastian Holme was a painter who, as the exhibition catalogue recorded, had met a tragic death during a foreign revolution. Art dealer, Braunkopf, has made a small fortune from the exhibition. Unfortunately, Holme turns up at the private view in this fascinating mystery of the art world in which Mervyn Cheel, distinguished critic and pointillist painter, lands in very hot water. Michael Innes was the pseudonym of J.I. M. Stewart.
