Felicity and Other Poems.

Beschreibung

A Shanghai expat's otherwise unrecorded tribute to his goddaughter, inscribed by the author on the first blank, "To Irene from Stewart with all good wishes. 22nd October 1919, Shanghai". G. Stewart Jones, "G.S.J." in the imprint, ran the Shanghai office of the chemicals giant Brunner, Mond & Co. Jones composed his poems in Shanghai, Tianjin, on the Yangtze River, and in England. His collection is a rare surviving example of the bespoke luxury printing and bookbinding service provided by Kelly & Walsh, Asia's largest publisher-printer. Octavo, pp. 16. Contents printed in blue. Original decorative black and blue brocade, front cover lettered in gilt, edges untrimmed, binder's ticket on rear pastedown. Boards lightly rubbed and bowed, foxing to endpapers and edges: a very good copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 176501
