1928FGN22-E-2Paris: Bernard Grasset 1928. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 7" by 4.5". Not stated. One of Andre Maurois' best-known works in the original French. One of Andre Maurois' best-known works in the original French. With an ink inscription by Andre Maurois to the title page. Ex libris William Tyrell. Tyrrell served in the Foreign Office from 1889 to 1928. He was private secretary to the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Thomas Sanderson from 1896 to 1903 and then secretary to the Committee of Imperial Defence from 1903 to 1904 before being appointed as second secretary at the British embassy in Rome. He returned firstly as precis-writer from 1905 to 1907 and later with Louis Mallet as private secretary to Sir Edward Grey from 1907 to 1915. Tyrrell supported the Entente Cordiale with France and did not think a rapprochement with Imperial Germany was possible before 1914. In the spring of 1915 Tyrrell appears to have suffered an almost total breakdown and he was moved to a less stressful job at the Home Office before being made head of the Political Intelligence Department from 1916 to 1919. He was Permanent Under-Secretary from 1925 to 1928 and British Ambassador to France from 1928 to 1934. As Permanent Under-Secretary he did not think there was a military threat from Japan and that Russia was the enemy and as Ambassador he worked for an Anglo-French agreement. He was also suspicious of Nazi Germany. He was sworn into the Privy Council in 1928 and made a Peer as Baron Tyrrell of Avon in the County of Southampton in 1929. In 1935 he was appointed President of the British Board of Film Censors a post he held until 1947. This book seems to date from his time in Paris as British Ambassador. Numbered 95 to the verso of the title page. Maurois' first novel Les silences du colonel Bramble was a witty and socially realistic account of that experience. It was an immediate success in France. It was translated and became popular in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries as The Silence of Colonel Bramble. Many of his other works have also been translated into English as they often dealt with British people or topics such as his biographies of Disraeli Byron and Shelley. In a quarter-morocco binding with marbled boards. Externally sound though with some rubbing and a few marks. Internally firmly bound. Pages have some slight marginal browning with just a few instances of foxing. Very Good Indeed Bernard Grasset hardcover

192820512Paris: Librairie de la Revue Française. Alexis Redier editor. Printer: Colouma 1928. Limited Edition. Wraps. Glassine dust jacket. Cloth slipcase with leather skiver title label. Cloth chemise. Fine/Very Good. Hermine David 1886-1970. No. 205 of limitation total of 1125 copies. 7 324 3 pp. And five etched plates done in dry point by David. Also a loose thin promotional sheet from the publisher. This Maurois novel first appeared in 1923. David was a post-Impressionist painter who was a part of the Ecole de Paris movement whose members were mostly not French born David being an exception to this. But she did marry a fellow member of this group Jules Pascin with whom she emigrated to American for five years. In the 1920s she became an active enthusiastic book illustrator this being a fine example of her work in the medium. Ours is a beautiful copy of this edition. It looks virtually untouched with the leaves generally uncut and all the tissue guards still in perfect shape. The glassine dust jacket has a few closed tears and tiny holes which with the material doesn't take much handling to occur. The slipcase and chemise have some color fading of their blue and the slipcase has light edgewear. Its skiver title label has a tiny pinprick blemish. But are structurally sound attractive and will continue to protect the book proper. The dust jacket alone we would grade Very Good Minus the slipcase and chemise Very Good Plus. Overall we consider this package very comfortably Fine. Librairie de la Revue Française. Alexis Redier, editor. Printer: Colouma unknown
