About This Item
Golden Cockerel Press, 1936. Hardback, half morocco with marbled paper covered boards. 22.5 x 15.5cm. 187pp, [1]. Illustrations by Osbert Lancaster. Number 89 of a limited edition of 150 copies printed on hand-made paper. Top edge gilt. Signed by Osbert Lancaster on the limitation leaf. The original binding generally didn't last well and clearly this copy was no exception, so this is a later rebind with new end-papers. A lovely clean copy. . Limited. Hard Cover. Very Good.
