06657London: Eyre and Spottiswoode. One of Only Fifty Signed - Cecil Aldin at His Most Characteristic<br /> Handsomely Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe<br /> <br /> ALDIN Cecil Aldin illustrator. HARE Kenneth. Roads and Vagabonds. London: Eyre and Spottiswoode 1930.<br /> <br /> Signed Limited Edition. One of only 50 numbered copies this being no. 42 signed by both Cecil Aldin and Kenneth Hare.<br /> <br /> Large quarto 10 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches; 273 x 187 mm. viii 189 1 blank pp. Two inserted full-color plates and numerous color-tinted illustrations throughout the text.<br /> <br /> Handsomely bound ca. 1960 by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in full maroon crushed morocco covers ruled in gilt spine with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers top edge gilt. A fine elegant copy.<br /> <br /> A particularly charming example of Cecil Aldin's mature work Roads and Vagabonds captures the artist's enduring fascination with the English countryside - its inns lanes sporting life and gently comic rural characters. Aldin's illustrations at once affectionate and keenly observed helped define the visual language of early 20th-century British sporting and travel books.<br /> <br /> The limitation of just fifty signed copies places this among the scarcest of Aldin's illustrated books seldom encountered on the market and almost always in lesser bindings. The present example is significantly enhanced by its later binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe the great London firm associated with some of the finest decorative bindings of the modern era here executed in a restrained but luxurious style that complements the work beautifully.

21220At head of first page: 'Copy January 16 1894'. A highly interesting letter from a leading Victorian dramatic critic Thomas describes himself in the letter as 'For five & twenty years . theatrical critic of the Daily news & the Graphic' who has 'served under at least thirteen editors' to a leading actor-manager Hare was knighted in 1907 on the subject of alleged editorial pressure on Fleet Street's theatre critics. 4pp 8vo. On four leaves. Aged and worn but with text complete and clear. Thomas has noted on the reverse of the last leaf: 'Letter to Hare about Grundy's Comedy An Old Jew produced at the Garrick Janry 6 1894.' Grundy wrote 'An Old Jew' for Hare who portrayed the main character Julius Sterne. Draft of long letter with numerous minor emendations. He was glad to read Hare's letter despite its 'lingering trace of the languor of the sick room'. 'To me so many years your senior it seems strange indeed to find you speaking of the close of your stage career. I can only say on that head that I hope to live to see you for many more years gathering fresh laurels'. On the subject of Grundy's play he states that he does not believe that 'the journalistic world has any claim to be exempt from the satire or even the extreme caricature which is freely allowed in the case of other classes. Literary cliques & côteries undoubtedly do exist as they existed in the days of Delatouche's Tour de Faveur & Delavigne's Comédiens and Scribe's Camaraderie'. He deplores critics who 'will now fall down & worship certain Scandinavian idols & their crude & offensive methods'. He cannot conceive of 'editors who give instructions to critics to denounce plays contrary to their real opinions'. He can 'only say that I have never met with any such editor. For five & twenty years I have been the theatrical critic of the Daily news & the Graphic & for some years of that time I occupied the same post on The Academy besides writing drama notices occasionally for other journals. Altogether I have served under at least thirteen editors and I can conscientiously affirm that never did any one of these attempt to entice me to speak ill of what I thought or might think a good paly or performance or vice versâ.' After some more observations he concludes: 'Depend upon it the whole thing will be forgotten ere long or remembered only to excite wonder that any sensible journalist of decent standing should have made a fuss about it'.
