Illustrated by Aranda de Beaumont Bramtot Le Blant Merson Myrbach Sinibaldi etc. Bound in chocolate brown leather with marbled boards original printed wraps sy foxed bound in. Appears to be one of a small number of copies possibly 150 'Tioage a Petit Nombre.' The gilt printed name E Lazarus appears at the foot of the spine possibly a former owner possibly Emma Lazrus who wrote about Florence Nigtingale. The books has the bookplate of Lytton Strachey 1"" by 3/4 "" with the words Lytton Strachey in a plaque or cartouche with folded edges surrounded by net-like cross hatching in a dark sepia tone. Carrington wrote of this bookplate in her diary March 20 1931 rather prophetically:- 'As I stuck the book plates in with Lytton I suddenly thought of Sothebys and the book plates in some books I had looked at when Lytton was bidding for a book and I thought: These books will one day be looked at by those gloomy faced booksellers and buyers. And suddenly a premonition of a day when these labels will no longer be in this library came over me. I longed to ask Lytton not to stick in any more.' He died 10 months later she shot herself shortly after. Very good indeed. Librairie Des Bibliophiles paperback
