Kauffer (E. McKnight, jacket artist); Onions ([George] Oliver) Peace in Our Time
£1,250
London, Chapman & Hall, 1923.
First edition. 8vo. Original red cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 7/6.
Stunning jacket artwork by one of the greatest 20th century jacket artists, E. McKnight Kauffer. Given the condition of the book compared to the jacket we have to presume this is either a marriage or a case of the book and the jacket being kept apart, with the jacket filed away safely…
In stock
Some foxing to text block; cloth slightly rubbed and bumped; jacket with vertical crease down spine (presumably from being filed previously), otherwise an excellent example.
Jacket artwork by E. McKnight Kauffer.
