Description: The 1921 signed/limited edition. #110 OF 275 COPIES SIGNED BY MAX BEERBOHM at the limitation. An unusual copy as well in that IT BOASTS THE STYLISH BOOKPLATE OF LEGENDARY ART PATRON JOHN QUINN (whose collections of modern art and original manuscripts were considered among the finest in the world and whose financial support of writers such as Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot --not to mention his groundbreaking battles against censorship-- changed the course of Modernism and 20th century literature). A solid, presentable copy to boot. Tight and VG in its purple cloth, with bright gilt-titling to the front panel and faded titling along the spine. A bit of offsetting as well along the top-edges, overall fading at the spine, foxing to the pastedowns. All edges gilt, tipped-in plates, printed tissue guards. Wonderful collection of pointed, very witty Max Beerbohm caricatures.

Price: US$400.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: No. 88 of 275 limitation, signed by Beerbohm on limitation page. Plus preserved is the seldom encountered DJ. 4to. 26 by 19 cm. 52 plates of the famous and celebrated, many of whom were among the literati, with a few politicians thrown in, as well as a few with no known personage but satirizing some current in society. Thus found here are unforgettable send-ups of Lloyd George, Gordon Craig, Sidney Webb, Lord Balfour, Lytton Strachey, and many others. But also in this collection are caricatures cleverly treating more abstract subject matter, such as the future as beheld by the 18th century, the 19th century and the 20th century. In the first two of this triplex series Beerbohm is commenting on the lack of human imagination as to what the future may bring. All the drawings have the inimitable Beerbohm style that remains fresh and droll, even when one doesn't necessarily know the subject or fully know what exactly Beerbohm intended to skewer. Captions on tissue guards. Condition: DJ with a few very minor closed tears and tiny edge chips. Now protected by mylar. Overall a beautiful copy. English Literature
