London & Paris: Maggs Brothers, 1932. Two volumes. Quarto. Cloth and boards, untrimmed. Illustrations and facsimiles. Boards a bit edgeworn and smudged, some faint splashmarks to spines, tiny snag at crown of one spine, bookplates and ownership stamp (see below), a good set, internally very good. First editions, limited to 250 and 275 numbered copies respectively. A charming association copy, inscribed on the free endsheet of the first volume: "O. Madox Hueffer Hommage amical André L. Simon." The recipient, Oliver Madox Hueffer (1876-1931), was himself a productive novelist and journalist, although he has been largely overshadowed by his better known older brother. According to his biographer, on 21 June 1931, after "an exceptionally good dinner" (wine choice unreported), Hueffer is said to have exclaimed "I've never felt better in my life," and died of a heart attack, aged fifty-four. The first volume subsequently rested for awhile with the Polish Naval Association, London, with their stamp on the front pastedown, and then migrated to the reference library of London bookselling firm, Francis Edwards Ltd, where it joined the second volume and had inserted their bookplate in each volume (noted as "Not for Sale" but sold with the substantial portion of the Edwards reference library by Maggs Bros ca 1985). A key work from the period of the first blush of wine bibliography, by its long dominant figure. GABLER G38730.
