Kauffer was born in the U.S.A. but settled in England in 1914. He was a member of both Wyndham Lewis's 'Group X' and the' Cumberland Market Group'. Kauffer's real genius was in advertising art; he produced seminal posters for the London Transport Board and for the Great Western Railway, as well as book jackets and illustrations. A very attractive production. The Times described McKnight Kauffer's illustrations as 'these very fresh and brilliant plates' while T.S. Eliot, an early collaborator, wrote 'I like the illustrations immensely, and some them have a quality which reminds me of Chirico'. (Tucker 26). More images available on request.

First edition, first impression, of this novel. With the scarce illustrated jacket by E. McKnight Kauffer, from the brief period before the publishers adopted their signature yellow jackets. From the publisher's archive with a few minor annotations to the dust jacket. Armstrong (1882-1974) was associate literary editor of the Spectator from 1922 to 1924. "Armstrong's novels, his most substantial artistic accomplishment, were written in the Edwardian tradition of John Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett and are characterized by carefully drawn portraits of figures from the upper-middle-class society into which he was born. The characters often reflect the class values that he himself averred, especially his respect for justice and tradition, his love of the countryside, and his concern for social harmony in relationships between the sexes. At the same time, however, his novels frequently assault the class values which he deplored, particularly snobbery, materialism, and indifference" (ODNB). Octavo.
