1957Best.-Nr. 4856Plaistow London United Kingdom: George Rainbird in association with Michael Joseph 1957. hardcover. Near Fine. Joyce Cary. Publication: London George Rainbird in association with Michael Joseph 1957 Formatting: 8vo pp. x 333. Condition Report: Near Fine. The original publisher’s marbled boards remain bright clean and tight displaying virtually no shelf-wear to the extremities. The red morocco spine label is intact with unoxidised brilliant gilt tooling while the spine itself shows only the slightest barely perceptible trace of the uniform sunning typical of this edition. The binding is remarkably firm and the text block is exceptionally crisp; internally the pages are uniformly bright and completely free of spotting or foxing complemented by a vibrant red top-stain. The accompanying slipcase matching the marbled paper design remains structurally entirely sound with only faint superficial rubbing to the edges and minor surface scuffing. Catalogue Note: This limited edition restricted to 1500 copies of which this is number 506 was designed according to the express wishes of the author shortly before his death. A highly regarded production printed at the esteemed Curwen Press this memorial edition features a frontispiece self-portrait printed directly from a plate lithographed by the author alongside eight additional illustrations reproduced by photo-litho-offset from Cary’s original pencil drawings. Significantly the text includes The Old Strife at Plant's a discarded chapter from the original manuscript offering a unique textual variant not found in standard trade copies. The elegant binding was executed by Mansell's of London with title-page and spine lettering beautifully engraved by John Woodcock. It remains an uncommon and highly desirable collector's piece on the open market particularly when found complete with its fragile slipcase in such well-preserved condition. Considered one of the finest English novels written about the artistic temperament The Horse's Mouth follows the brilliant larcenous and utterly irrepressible painter Gulley Jimson as he navigates the streets of London in a relentless quest for money and inspiration. Jimson’s visionary genius and appetite for self-destruction collide in a narrative that is both uproariously funny and profoundly moving painting a vivid portrait of a man consumed by the terrible beauty of his own creative drive.
