LORD BERNERS. Rex Whistler. — First Childhood. An autobiography. With a frontispiece and dust wrapper designed by Rex Whistler.
Constable, London, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). 8vo. ix, 255pp. Blue cloth lettered in gold at the spine and upper board, and with the publisher's blue top edge stain. With a frontispiece and seven captioned photographic plates. The cloth at the backstrip just fractionally faded, and with a trace of offsetting from the dust wrapper design. A touch of very light spotting to the free endpapers and pastedowns. Very good indeed in price-clipped dust wrapper which repeats the Whistler frontispiece design, and with a second Whistler decoration on the spine panel. Some fading to the spine panel. A little chipping to the spine panel ends and corner tips, with some internal reinforcement and a lengthy slit to the rear panel spine panel fold, and several other short enclosed slits to other natural folds. A very nice copy of the author's first volume of memoirs, and most uncommon which the handsome Whistler dust wrapper (which is considerably more presentable than this description might imply)., Very Good, Good
