Smollett, Tobias.
THE ADVENTURES OF PEREGRINE PICKLE. In Which is Included Memoirs of a Lady of Quality. With an Introduction by G.K. Chesterton and Illustrations by John Austen.
Two Volumes. pp. xxiii, 782 (1) + Plates in color. Small folios. Designed, printed, and bound (in full green linen, gold stamped) by John Johnson, at the Oxford University Press; set in Monotype Bell; on William Nash Special paper. Dust jackets and slipcase show some soiling and wear. Number 413 of an edition limited to only 1500 copies, signed by the artist. In the autumn of 1750 Smollett set out for Paris in order to collect material for another novel. The result of the tour was The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, published in 1751. In some respects, this is the most remarkable of Smollett's novels; it is, also, the longest, and it maintains its vivacity and vigour throughout. Peregrine is a scoundrel with a very moderate sense of shame; he is also, in his elegant and rather witty way, a bully of the most refined cruelty, who is not content to feast on others' folly, but likes to pay for the feast with all kinds of insult and annoyance. It is still a fun read today. A handsomely produced edition. These would make a great gift. W96

pp. xx [ii], 70 (1) + Illustrated with one double-page and four full-page photographs by Richard Benson, superbly printed in a 300 line screen process by Meriden Gravure Co. Small folio.

The beautiful endpaper designs and slipcase decorations are reproduced from original paste papers designed by Carol Blinn. Copy number 1848 of and edition limited to 2,000 numbered copies signed by the photographer, Richard Benson. "Bright, volatile, short-lived and hard-drinking, Crane was in some ways an archetype of the Roaring Twenties author. Crane is best known for The Bridge (1930), an epic vision of American life with the Brooklyn Bridge as a central image. Crane is often compared to Walt Whitman, both for his modern American sensibilities and for the homoerotic imagery some find in his work. In sheer style Crane also resembled T.S. Eliot, whom he admired. Crane committed suicide by leaping from the S.S. Orizaba in 1932. Slipcase has some soiling on the top and bottom edge. There is also a small (less than 1/2") loss of colored paper in the lower corner of the slipcase. A brilliantly photo illustrated work. It would make a great gift. W37
