TOGETHER WITH BARBER'S ORIGINAL INK DRAWING FOR THE TITLE PAGE laid in. 1 vols. 4to. "One of the most important books published by Connett." -- Siegel This is the large paper edition of this work. The regular trade edition was published at the same time by Windward House a sporting press started by Connett in 1933. Both editions used Barber's vignette on the the title page. From this drawing it appears that Connett liked the artist's Windward design and used in it the Derrydale edition: in the margin of the drawing Connett has pencilled "reduce 1/4 inch" and the drawing was photographically reduced to the smaller dimension for the large paper copies. A simplified version of the design was used on the Derrydale edition spine. One of the rarest and most desirable productions of the Derrydale Press and by virtue of the drawing a unique copy.

1996Best.-Nr. acs1287Rochester NY: The Boydell Press 1996. Octavo green boards hardcover gilt lettering 298 pp. Fine As New in a Fine As New dust jacket. From dust jacket: Edward Prince of Wales and Aquitaine known as the Black Prince is one of the legendary figures of English history victor of three great battles and a model of chivalry and courtesy. Behind this image which many of his contemporaries accepted and eagerly believed in it is difficult to get at the realities of his character and of the life that he led. Most of his biographers have based their work on the splendid vision of chivalry conjured up by Froissart but the present book deliberately shuns this approach to see what can be found in official records particularly from the prince’s household and from the people who campaigned with the prince. Particular attention has been paid not only to the confusing and confused accounts of the great battles but also to the prince’s early years his close companions who contributed so greatly to his successes and to his government of Aquitaine an obscure but very important part of his career. A number of minor bur persistent errors deriving from Froissart are corrected and a concluding chapter examines how the legend of the Black Prince and his curious nickname came into being.
