Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. The first campaign medaL of the Great War - the 1914 Star - was struck in 1917. In October 1919, by command of the King, a bar bearing the dates ' 5th Aug,-22nd Nov. 1914' was awarded to all holders of the medal who had been under fire - i.e., '…within range of enemy mobile artillery' - in France and Flanders between the qualifying dates. Fewer than 230,000 bars were awarded. The recipients - and only they - were and are the Old Contemptibles. Their very special medal has come to be known, by hallowed tradition, as the ' Mons Star'; and this is their story. There is a small bump to the top corner on the blue boards which are crisp and clean. The dust jacket shows very light wear to the corners and is priced-clipped.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. The sole UK printing published by George Harrap & Co.Ltd, London in 1935. The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition. Light pushing at the spine ends and corners. A hint of toning and spotting the text-block. Free from reassures, bookplates a…nd inscriptions. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. Some small losses to the spine ends and corners, more-so at the upper spine tip but not involving any lettering. A little light spotting and age related markings in places. The wrapper artwork by Pearl Binder is striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Black-and-white illustrations, some full pages throughout. Writer, illustrator, folklorist, an artist Pearl Binder's wildly scarce book which seeks to document the London lives of 10 individual types of EastEnders. Binder builds vivid and hilarious and often irreverent portrait of ten London characters of the early 1930s. These include an ostler named Bill (a keeper of horses, usually at inns but in this case for the Tower of London) who began his work life as 'a butter slapper' ; a phrenologist, the White Chapel Bell Foundry workers (notable that there is a cause to try still to save the foundry today) ; the wax workers of Madame Tussaud's, a Bloomsbury bohemian, an antique dealer, a sex worker (assigned the name Poule de Luxe by Binder), a mixed race woman running an illegal Chinese lottery game called 'Pukka-Poo'. Parts of the book are certainly laugh-out-loud funny and the character descriptions are rich. Her portrait of 'the bohemian' describes a man named Basil who 'had learned by now to scoffr at everything except Picasso, Cocteau, and Gertrude Stein, at mention of whom he came attention as stiffly as any English colonel before the Union Jack'. 'Odd Jobs' celebrates the East End diversity, vibrancy in life and demonstrating Binder's commitment to London's working class, but inevitably reflects stereotypes of the era. At the same time Binders artwork and words are an evocative documentation of a pre-World War II city that was soon changed forever. She dedicated the book to 'To my friends Professor Bronislaw Malinowsky and Elsie Malinowsky, These True Stories'. The daughter of a Jewish Tailor and a mother whose origins are not documented, Binder moved to London after World War 1 and studied lithography at the Central School of Art and Design. She both illustrated books for other writers who documented London life and wrote and illustrated her own. She was a great supporter of the Pearlies, the working class and women's rights. A very good copy of an exceedingly scarce title, and an important book for collectors of London life. I can locate no other copies in commerce. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Binder, Pearl (illustrator).

Large 8vo., original light brown publisher's cloth lettered in black to upper cover and spine with red decorative devices; together in the scarce pictorial wrapper fe…aturing floral borders, and a floating flower fairy to the upper panel; with a colourful frontis and a further 23 pages of plates along with numerous black and white devices, vignettes, and head/tail pieces throughout ; The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition with slight pushing at the spine tips; The occasional spotting and very light mottling to the page edges but for the most part a clean, bright copy. The plates remain clean. The WRAPPER, seldom found, is complete and in Very Good++ condition with some toning to the folds and the spine : some creasing to the edges and a little loss to the spine ends and corners: some light rubbing along the spine, with a couple of short closed tears, the longest 3cm in length to the rear flap fold. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First UK trade edition (Steenson A3b) with the wrapper matching the description for second state (Steenson A3c), with no 'Harrap' logo to the foot of the spine. Some of the included illustrations had already appeared in other publications, including the 'To the Coming of the Spring' (p. 103), which was used as the cover image for 'The Treasury of Verse' by M. G. Edgar and E. Chilman, also published by Harrap. The black and white plate for 'A Ballad of the Captains' (p.47) was also used as a frontis in the Harrap Library edition of 'The Lure of the Sea'. A wonderful collection of verses from poets of the day, which include among them contributions from Hilaire Belloc, Rupert Brooke, G. K. Chesterton, Walter de la Mare, Alice Meynell and Thomas Hardy, wonderfully accompanied by a series of charismatic plates by the illustrator Harry Clarke. The compilation represented one of his earlier publications, preceded only by The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen in 1916 and Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination in 1919, also both published by Harrap. It was the reissue of Poe's tales in 1923 which cemented Clarke's reputation as a book illustrator during what is known today as 'the golden age of gift-book illustration' in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This publication directly followed. Scarce to find with a wrapper in any condition. Collectible. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Clarke, Harry (illustrator).
