About This Item
New York: George H. Doran, 1927. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good+/Very Good. Edmund Dulac. 8vo. Pp. 317. Black cloth, titles and rules stamped in gilt on the spine, titles and motif in gilt on the cover. Fore edge untrimmed. Spine ends rubbed, edges mildly age toned. Illustrated initial capital letters. In the Dulac illustrated dust jacket printed in black and gold, $2.50 unclipped. Jacket edges rubbed and slightly chipped. "The magic and the mystery of women shall not be assailed. We shall adore, not dissect" states the author in the blub. "A romance of Mayfair in these days." Though uncredited, we presume the decorative initial caps are the work of Edmund Dulac. The dust jacket is credited as such, a fine example of art-deco aesthetic in gold and black, with the gold retaining its reflective metallic quality. Dust jacket preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
