Sobre este artículo
Stockholm: Aktiebolaget Skoglunds Bokförlag,, 1936. The Great War, inscribed to his Swedish publisher in two volumes First edition in Swedish, first printing, inscribed by Churchill for his Swedish publisher on the initial binder's blank of volume I and volume II: "Inscribed for B. Sterner by Winston S. Churchill March 1936". Churchill's Swedish publishers normally sent him two specially bound copies of each of his titles that they published. It was his practice to inscribe one copy and return it to them, leaving one copy for his library. This was part of a run of the publisher's inscribed copies that was sold at Sotheby's on 15 July 1998 (lots 208-213). Unlike other books in the run, Churchill's inscription is to a specific dedicatee: Bertil Sterner (1891-1966), who managed the publishing company from 1918 to 1960. The work is a translation of The Great War, first published in Britain in 1933. The Great War was the first illustrated edition of Churchill's history of the First World War, first published in six volumes from 1923 to 1931 as The World Crisis. Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes. Three volumes, quarto (264 x 193 mm). Bound in red morocco for the publisher by the Nordiska Bokhandelns bindery in Stockholm, twin green morocco labels to spines, gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. Illustrated throughout with photographs, maps, and plans. Colour skilfully retouched where binding rubbed, contents clean: a very good copy. Cohen A69.9a (under "translations").
