He developed his own style of elaborate simplicity, with themes of aspiration to a life that shuns social niceties and untruth. In the original full crushed morocco binding. Externally, smart with light wear to the extremities and fading to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with light age toning. Creases to the edge of the folding frontispiece.
