First Edition, first impression, with the scarce and unrestored original dust-jacket by Edward BAWDEN. 8vo. 298 pages. Publisher's blue buckram, tight and square, spine shows titles in very strong white lettering with publisher's device stamped in relief and uncoloured; edges unrubbed and unbumped; very slight shelfwear to bottom edge of front cover. INternally sharp and clean with no soiling; endpapers fresh with no inscriptions, no spotting to preliminaries, no foxing to text or block. With the scarce Bawden jacket, which is clipped at top corner of front flap, but completely unrestored, with minor loss at head of spine. Bawden's vivid graphic style in highly recognizable, with spaces and shapes structured within linear patterning that stemmed from his fascination with lino-cutting techniques and enthusiastic encouragement of his art tutor, Paul Nash. WJ Turner was an Australian-born poet and writer who had been in Britain since the first World War. His poetry won high praise from WB Yeats and his London literary friends Siegfried Sassoon and Virginia Woolf.
