About This Item
Grant Richards Ltd., London, 1918. Book. Fair. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 62pp. Paper-covered boards with a tanned paper spine label. Rubbed and worn at the backstrip ends, with the binding splitting at the terminal leaf. Some spotting to the edges, endpapers and half-title, and to occasional margins throughout. Former owner bookplate to the front pastedown (Claud Cox describes the same plate in a different book as "in the style of Eric Gill; perhaps by Desmond Chute"). A fair copy. No dust wrapper. The author's quite uncommon second book; twenty-four poems including several Great War verses, with a printed dedication to his wife-to-be Barbara Jacobs - they married a year after this collection was published. Waugh was commissioned the Dorset Regiment in May 1917, saw action as Passchendaele and was subsequently captured near Arras in March 1918 and spent the remainder of the War as a P.O.W.
