Description:
Meliden, Denbighshire, 1926. Small, slim side-stitched photograph album, measuring 16 x 12cm, pp. [12]. Textured grey card, stitched with grey cord, gilt-stamped landscape motif to front wrapper. Wavy edges. Pushing to wrapper corners, gentle shelf-wear and soiling, cord ends frayed. Two black-edges photo-windows per page, with annotations (plus ample exclamation marks!!!) in pen, describing the majority of the sepia-toned photographs, which mostly measure 6.5 x 4.2cm. Featuring 34 photographs, plus one duplicate and a 35th laid in; one misfit between annotation and photograph. A few photographs with light edgewear, a few lost corners and a little scoring. Else, clean, bright and tidy. A charming, gentle example of a 1920's holiday album. Very good. The album documents a holiday in 1926, featuring Don, Paddy, Edith, and 'myself', in Meliden, near Prestatyn, Denbighshire. It seems the group stayed at 'Roundwood,' a large house (perhaps giving its name to a present day residential area) in Meliden,…

Description:
London: William Heinemann, 1901. Good+. FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. 8vo, pp. xii,. Original blue cloth, spine stamped in gilt. Edges untrimmed. Rubbed and bumped, echoing into text block, top edge dusty. Offsetting and foxing to endpapers. Inscribed by Irving in blue ink to half-title: "To F.C. Burnand, with all good wishes, from H. B. Irving", spine cracked between various gatherings, rear hinge starting, but binding holding firm. Else, clean. Good+ A pleasing association copy, uniting two significant figures of British theatrical life at the turn of the century: the actor-manager, Henry Brodribb Irving, and playwright and Punch editor, Francis Cowley Burnand. Despite training as a lawyer and being called to the bar in 1894, H. B. Irving (1870–1919) followed his father (and namesake), the successful actor-manager Henry Irving, onto the stage. H. B. Irving remained interested in crime and its writing: two years after Studies of French Criminals, he became a founding member of Arthur Conan…
