hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: London, Dennis Dobson Ltd, 1951 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 147. Condition Report: Near Fine in a Very Good dust jacket. The green woven cloth boards are exceptionally bright and crisp, with sharp corners and firm spine ends displaying virtually no shelf-wear. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, holding the text block securely and suggesting the volume has been seldom read. Internally, the pages are exceedingly clean, free of any spotting or foxing, with only the mildest, uniform age-toning to the top edge of the text block. The unclipped dust jacket is wonderfully well-preserved; it exhibits only slight rubbing to the extreme spine tips and corners, with no significant tears or loss, ensuring a highly attractive shelf presence. Catalogue Note: This is a first edition, first impression. An uncommon find in such a well-preserved state, the book features a striking wrap-around dust jacket designed by Susan Williams-Ellis, co-founder of Portmeirion Pottery, whose distinctive mid-century aesthetic perfectly captures the coastal atmosphere. The volume brings together a series of topographical essays by distinguished literary figures, most notably a dedicated chapter on the Isle of Man by the celebrated poet and broadcaster John Betjeman. Other notable contributors include Clough Williams-Ellis writing on the St. Tudwal Islands and Desmond Hawkins on Guernsey. Copies retaining this level of brightness to the original dust jacket, which still displays its 9s 6d net price on the front flap, are increasingly scarce on the open market, making it an excellent addition for collectors of mid-twentieth-century British topography. A captivating mid-century exploration of Britain's coastal fringes, Portraits of Islands brings together twelve specially commissioned essays by leading writers and naturalists of the era. Edited by Eileen Molony, the collection offers evocative, highly individualised portraits of remote and storied landscapes, from the windswept Aran Islands to the rocky outcrops of St. Kilda. Moving beyond the scope of traditional guidebooks, each contributor presents a deeply personal reflection on the island that most captured their imagination. The result is a rich, literary tapestry of natural history, local folklore, and atmospheric topography. Susan Williams-Ellis (illustrator).…
