Crawford (Archibald) Tartan Shirts
£395
First edition.
London, Putnam, 1936
A very elusive political satire in which a Scottish shirt maker – Andrew McAndrew – corners the market for political shirts. In the novel the author satirises the symbolic power of the shirt with garments whose actual colour imbue the wearer with a political attitude. What’s not to like about a novel that pokes fun at Oswald Mosley’s Fascist Blackshirt movement.
