1930173615Shanghai: Kelly and Walsh Limited 1930. With six folding maps and many illustrations First edition first printing in a presentation binding inscribed by the master of the Shanghai Paper Hunt Club on the first leaf "Major-General Sir Arthur Wardrop C.B.E. From N. L. Sparke. Master S.P.H.C. 1930". Alexander Ernest Wardrop 1872-1961 here called "Arthur" by accident served as Commander-in-Chief North China Command between 1927 and 1929. Equestrian pursuits were extremely popular in the international settlements. Businessmen diplomats military officers and the well-to-do used them to affirm their status and build connections and Shanghai was perpetually gripped by a "mania" Weirather p. 59 for racing. Founded in 1863 the Paper Hunt Club was one of the oldest expatriate groups in the city and by 1930 it included members from 19 different nationalities. Davis's history anthologizes a large amount of information from the club's archives such as the names of stewards past and present the rules of the hunt information on preferred breeds and poems celebrating the club's traditions. A special section pays tribute to Ah Pau the head boy responsible for laying the paper trail for riders to follow. Ah Pau was invaluable when dealing with locals who objected to riders careering across their land: "in his dealings with his fellow countrymen he is usually the embodiment of imperturbability and good humour but when their rapacity and obstructiveness pass all reasonable bounds he lashes them with stinging invective and withers them with biting scorn" p. 29. The text is supported by detailed maps of Shanghai's rural environs and photographs from the private collections of members as well as drawings provided by the Shanghai-based artist Edmund Toeg and the leading cartoonist H. W. G. Hayter. Copies bound in pink cloth include a portrait of the editor bound facing page 36. Here this plate has been replaced by a special leaf bound facing the preface with a tipped-in silver print after a portrait of the author. The verso of the print has adhesive skinning suggesting it was borrowed from another source. Quarto. Large half-tone frontispiece after a photograph of the Christmas 1929 hunt by the Ah Fong Photography Studio; tipped-in silver print after photograph of author; 50 plates 2 colour 1 folding many after drawings by Edmund Toeg and 2 after caricatures by Henry William Goodenough Hayter; 6 folding maps of riding country in and around Shanghai; pen and ink illustrations by Toeg in text; red embossed vignette of horse and rider on title page. Original red padded morocco-grain skiver spine lettered in gilt front cover with gilt vignette of horse and rider pictorial endpapers edges untrimmed.

1924355490714129London: Oxford University Press 1924. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. A History of Tennis Oxford: Oxford University Press 1924. First UK Edition. In Two Volumes. Illustrated with numerous plates and a large folding chart at rear of volume II. Bound in blind-panelled navy open weave buckram titled in gilt at the spine. The definitive history of Real Tennis 'La Paume' in two volumes. Both volumes are in fine condition in the VERY RARE ORIGINAL DUST WRAPPERS. Copies in D/W are almost un-heardof and I can find no other examples on sale at this time. The D/W on Volume I is in VG condition with a couple of closed tears and some inevitable browning to the spine. It is though complete. The D/W on Volume II is in good only condition as it is missing a large piece approximately half of the back panel. The back panel has no text on it so archival restoration would not be un-duly difficult. Supposedly limited to 820 copies the actual limitation is probably much smaller as it is rumoured that 100 were pulped in 1929 and perhaps as many as 380 copies were pulped in 1932.
