A near fine copy the binding square and firm the contents clean throughout.

In the lightly toned dustwrapper nicked to corners and spine tips the rubbed upper spine edge with a couple of short near closed tears to the folds. Not price-clipped 25s net to the front flap. Altogether a sound presentable copy with an inscription showing the author's talent for wordplay. Inscribed by the author in red ink to the front free endpaper "For Polly Mill / with love / Noël". The recipient homophonically addressed is Paul-Emile Seidmann a doctor married to Ginette Spanier director of the House of Balmain the fashion house founded by Pierre Balmain and patronised by such luminaries as Ava Gardner Brigitte Bardot and Marlene Dietrich. Coward met the couple while holidaying in France during the summer of 1946 and they became according to the editors of Coward's diaries the "closest of Noël's Parisian friends" amply borne out in the number of affectionate mentions of the couple in the diary itself. Philip Hoare in his biography of Coward notes that the author affectionately nicknamed Seidmann 'Marie-Antoinette'. Coward also smuggles Seidmann's name without the final 'n' into his 1959 play 'Look After Lulu!' an adaptation of a Feydeau farce as 'Mayor of the District' the name mentioned just once.

COWARD, Noel
Post-Mortem.
London: William Heinemann Ltd 1931. His own copy of his anti-war polemic First edition the playwright's own copy signed by him on the title page and with his bookplate on the front pastedown and first blank. The play was written at the height of Coward's dramatic power but went unperformed in his lifetime. "By the early thirties Coward's increasingly mature work and its critical and popular success had established him as probably the most important dramatist of his day. Virginia Woolf flattered by his attentions professed to have fallen 'in love' with the playwright and his work and encouraged him to write more adventurously. The openly gay Semi-Monde 1926 and the anti-war polemic of Post-Mortem 1930 written after his brief appearance in a Singapore production of Journey's End appeared to be Coward's attempt to write up to these expectations" Philip Hoare in ODNB. Coward's elegant art deco bookplate combining the masks of comedy and tragedy into a single persona was designed by Gladys Calthrop 1894-1980 who worked as a set and costume designer on many of the original productions of his plays including Private Lives 1931 Design for Living 1933 and Present Laughter 1943. This copy later passed into the collection of Coward's close friend and agent Geoffrey Johnson 1930-2021 with his ink and blind stamps to the front endpapers. Octavo. Original purple cloth spine lettered in gilt publisher's device to rear pastedown. With dust jacket. Bookseller's ticket to rear pastedown. Spine sunned lightly worn at head gutter cracked before first gathering but firm contents clean; jacket unclipped rubbed spine toned extremities lightly chipped: a very good copy in very good jacket. hardcover
