hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Elkin Mathews Ltd, 1925. Formatting: 8vo. Condition Report: Very Good in a Good dust-jacket. The binding remains firm and structurally sound, with the underlying brown cloth visible at the head of the spine presenting well. The original printed paper dust-jacket exhibits significant signs of age and wear, most notably pronounced chipping, creasing, and closed tears along the entire top edge and crown of the spine. The rear panel of the jacket is largely intact, save for a small chip and creasing at the top right corner. Internally, the book is largely clean, though the title page displays moderate foxing and spotting. The tipped-in monochrome plate, which depicts an allegorical autumn scene, remains securely attached and in good order. Catalogue Note: A true first edition of this scarce 1925 anthology, published by Elkin Mathews Ltd.

It serves as a nostalgic and evocative homage to the fading light and golden hues of the autumn months. N/A (illustrator).…
