About This Item
London : Constable & Co., (1932). First edition. Burke in familiar territory in the dark lanes and byways of East End London - dismissing the stereotypes and pointing up the colour, the people, the river and the commerce - the book brought magnificently to life by the atmospheric lithographs of the bohemian Pearl Binder (1904-1990), later Lady Polly Elwyn-Jones - with sketches from her studio, studies of Aldgate, Wapping, Brick Lane, etc. Demy 8vo (23cm). (viii),(164),[iv]pp. Sixteen plates. Smaller illustrations in text. Original blue cloth, lettered in gilt; a few spots, mainly to edges; frontispiece just slightly chipped, but otherwise a very good copy in the striking dust-jacket - a pictorial monochrome design of the East End at night by Binder, lettered in bright pink - the jacket just a little worn and slightly frayed, with a short repaired tear, but a rare and welcome survival, featuring an illustration not included in the book. Contemporary (1934) ownership inscription of Kate M. Woodbridge.
