Best.-Nr. B171707-1Paris Société dÉdition Le Livre 1929. 4 251 3pp. 15 copperplate-engraved illus. 4to. Marbled boards 3/4 leather gilt. T.e.g. Orig. wraps. and spine bound in. Édition de tête: one of 20 numbered copies on Japon Impérial with a double suite of the engravings one on Japon in the first state and one on Hollande van Gelder from the limited edition of 430. Originally published under the title Le General Bramble in 1920 the book was then republished in expanded form as Les Discours du Docteur O'Grady in 1922. The novel is about the contemplative conversations of a group of British officers including the titular "Doctor O'Grady" during WWI drawing heavily on the author's experiences who served as an interpreter for the British during the war. The Parisian J.E. Laboureur published three series of engravings on the theme of war despite being conscripted in 1914. He illustrated over 66 titles in his lifetime including works by Jean Giraudoux Remy de Gourmont Marcel Proust et al. and contributed to magazines and journals such as Gazette du Bon Ton. Among the students top whom he taught engraving are Marie Laurencin and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. Paris (Société d?Édition ?Le Livre?), 1929. hardcover books
1931Best.-Nr. 008157London: Longmans Green and Co. 1931. First edition. Hardcover. This the first edition first printing of the first volume appearance of Churchill's engaging speculative history essay "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg". This copy is rendered doubly compelling by being an elusive binding variant and retaining the rare and striking dust jacket. This jacketed copy the only we have offered - is very good plus in a very good plus dust jacket. The green cloth binding is square and tight with bright spine gilt and sharp corners. We note only light soiling to extremities. The contents remain bright with a crisp feel and no previous ownership marks. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponds to the bright yellow dust jacket flaps confirming that this copy has spent life jacketed. Spotting is heavy to the top edge lighter to the fore and bottom edges occasionally intruding into the blank inner margins. The distinctive dust jacket printed in green and black on yellow stock is complete apart from fractional loss to the spine head and unclipped retaining the original lower front flap price. The spine shows only slight toning and minor wear is substantially confined to extremities. The dust jacket is protected beneath a removable clear archival cover. Churchill's intriguing piece first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in December 1930 as part of a series of "What If" articles by eminent authors of the time. In 1931 Longmans published this book-length work on the same theme including Churchill's piece at pp. 173-196. This British first edition preceded an American counterpart and oddly we find it scarcer than copies of the original magazine publication. It becomes genuinely rare thus in the original dust jacket and is rendered an elusive prize when found in this variant binding of the British first edition first printing. Per Churchill's bibliographer Ronald I. Cohen this variant binding is "Bound in moderate bluish green embossed calico-texture cloth" as opposed to red cloth and slightly reduced page size from 235 x 151.2 mm to 217 x 140.7 mm. Churchill's essay herein displays the commanding grasp of history and the facility for extrapolation that made him so formidable as both a statesman and a writer. Moreover his interest in America's great struggle was quite serious; Churchill toured Virginia battlefields with the great Civil War historian Douglas Southall Freeman and toured Gettysburg with none other than Dwight Eisenhower. Thirty years later Churchill would publish a book on the subject The American Civil War 1961 excerpted from his epic A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. Reference: Cohen B43.1.b Woods B18.
