Sobre este artículo
Frederick Etchells & Hugh Macdonald, London., 1927. First edition thus: five hand-coloured wood engravings by Hester Sainsbury. Royal octavo. 32 pages. One of 375 numbered copies. Buckram-backed paper boards. The text is that of the first edition, undated but probably 1628. Pages unopened.Mounted onto the front free endpaper is an Autograph Letter, signed, from Hester Sainsbury to writer, editor and publisher Guy Chapman, presenting the book to him: "I am returning the blocks you were so good as to lend me. I have just taken one set of proofs. I had meant, by way of thanks, to give you a set of hand pulls, but I'm inclined to think they will really come out better on the press for which they were intended. Also it would be less boring for you to have something different, so I am sending you the 'Dog of War' which was published yesterday. I think the engravings have come out very well, they are excellently printed - I'm not content with the camels I've done for you, would there be time to try another wood cut to put in instead?"Covers a little marked. Very good. No dustwrapper.
