1922rif. 210CROME YELLOW by Aldous Huxley Chatto & Windus 1922 1st edition 2nd impression Huxley's first novel is a satirical comic tale containing themes which he would develop in his later and more famous works. This copy was a gift to Gertrude G Wienholt wife of Edward Arthur Wienholt formerly Gertrude Gladys Violet Sprot. The couple were married in 1919 and lived at Selkirk Scotland where there was a B.O.A.F.G. lodge which was a masonic organization fully named The British Order of Ancient & Free Gardeners. It is not known if Huxley was involved with the BOAFG in any way. The book is signed with the initials A.H. and has Huxley's photo from a newspaper cutting pasted into the blank front end page. It is not known if this is Huxley's signature which varied through his decades of autographing books and letters and gift inscription although the "A" in BOAFG matches some seen in his hand-written correspondence letters and the "H" in A.H. is not unlike others in some of his later autographs plus the unusual "t" in Gertrude matches an example in his handwritten poem Leda. So while this book is plausibly inscribed and signed by the author it is being sold here as a collectable novelty which clearly has rarity for its assocation with the B.O.A.F.G. It would of course not be outlandish for Huxley as a member of the Fabian Society to have hobnobbed with those of the British Order of Ancient & Free Gardeners early in his writing career although this book's inscription would be the only known record of any such association. A most likely interpetation is that Huxley was giving a private address to the BOAFG which was hosted by Gertrude who asked him to sign her copy of his then new book and she later pasted in the photograph from a newspaper article. Having owned this beautiful little book for nearly 20 years it is time for it now to pass out into the world for a wider adventure. Chatto & Windus hardcover

rif. 002977Hardcover. VG. 16.5 Cms x 24.5 Cms. This collection is fairly lavishly bound with gilt decorated panelled leather sp. with 2 labels and marbled boards clean & unworn bar some very minor rubbing to bottom edge extremities all quite unrubbed or bumped internally the supplied brown endpapers & pastedowns are clean unmarked and quite undamaged. The papers are all- from The Nineteenth Century bar 2 from Fortnightly Review and one from Contemporary Review. 3 by Huxley 4 by Romanes 3 by the Duke of Argyll 4 by St.J.Mivart 2 by Max Mullerone each by Herbert Spencer Lewes Lombroso Kropotkin and Lankester others by less well-remembered figures. Nearly all are on some aspect of the evolutionary thought religion or both. There seems to be no rhyme or reason in the order although Huxley's trio are all at the beginning. Fuller details on request. Occ. light pencilled marginal marking occ.brown spotting. The binding has been quite painstaking with first pages often carefully pasted to verso of final pages. Both aesthetically attractive as a binding and extremely useful to anyone researching the popular evolution-religion debate during this period. Appears to date from before 1914. hardcover
