GORDON, Hampden and M.G. TINDALL. Our Hospital ABC [cover title]. Our Hospital Anzac British Canadian. Pictures by Joyce Dennys. Verses by Hampden Gordon & M.G. Tindall. John Lane The Bodley Head, London, 1916.

Price: US$167.30 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: London, John Lane The Bodley Head, [1916]. Quarto, [56] pages in colour, comprising a few preliminaries and a double-page spread for each letter of the alphabet (a humorous verse facing a charming illustration), plus pictorial endpapers (with the inner surfaces of the flyleaves integral to the text). Quarter cloth and colour pictorial papered boards slightly rubbed and bumped at the extremities; light erasure to the front flyleaf; a fine copy. Wartime nursing staff feature in many of these well-executed and appealing illustrations. A couple in which they do not appear are more than topical: 'C is for Canada / gallant and true / whose sons make the Huns / look decidedly blue', and 'L are the Lads who / by playing the game / have made the word Anzac / a glorious name'. The book went through at least three editions; this would appear to be the first.
