    Half title, plates. Orig. scarlet cloth; v. faint damp mark at tail. Orig. pink printed d.w.; a little unevenly browned, sl. damp mark to bottom edge of rear panel, spine chipped at head & tail with neat tape repairs. Inscribed 'With all appreciation, Jim Ede 1980' on leading f.e.p., funeral notice loosely inserted. A limited edition appeared the previous year under the title A Life of Gaudier-Brzeska. A novelistic biography of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, one of the artistic geniuses of the twentieth century, who was killed at Arras at the age of twenty-three. The artist and critic, H.S. 'Jim' Ede, having survived the war, came to see preservation of Gaudier-Brzeska's memory and reputation as 'an almost sacred duty'. The result is an extraordinary work about art, romance, poverty, London, and life that fully vindicates the artist's assertion that 'Art creates balance, it saves the world from ruin and from dying out'.
