REID P R
The Colditz Story with The Latter Days. COLDITZ COMPLETE IN DUSTWRAPPERS
Hodder & Stoughton 1952-54. 2 vols. 8vo. Mixed Impressions with frontispieces numerous photographs illustrations and facsimiles several full-page and double-page plan in the text front endpaper map in second volume; blue cloth gilt backs a very good bright clean set in dustwrapper the latter lightly frayed and creased at edges; first volume with minor loss not affecting lettering at head of backstrip. Dustwrapper artwork by John Watton. First volume: fifth impression; second volume: first edition. The first volume culminates with the author's 'home run' in 1942. Reid's two classics of POW life and escape began a virtual sub-industry of astonishingly variable quality including dozens of later books several feature films countless magazine pieces and a long-running TV series. There is however no mistaking the calibre of the original. Now that Colditz is to become in part at least a youth hostel interest in its wartime role will only grow. SETS OF EARLY PRINTINGS ARE VERY SCARCE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Enser p. 151. Hodder & Stoughton, hardcover

Mildly brownspotted. <br/><br/><em>The "Small miseries of the War" was unfinished - there was only published 7 etchings the 4 first offered here.Callot was one of the first great artists to practise the graphic art exclusively. His innovative series of prints documenting the horrors of War of which his series "Les Miseres et les Mal-Heurs De la Guerre" Great Miseries of War is the most famous greatly influenced the socially conscious artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. For instance its themes and imagery were used as a source by Goya and he is acknowledged as equal to the three great: Dürer Rembrandt Goya. It is said that no one ever to such an extent possessed the talent of grouping a large number of figures in a small space and of representing with two or three bold strokes the expression action and peculiar features of each individual.
