Nice copy. Daniel Henry Holmes, Jr. (1851-1908) was born in New York City, and later lived with his family in New Orleans. In 1852 his father bought a summer home near Covington, Kentucky which they called Holmesdale. The young Holmes spent his summers in Kentucky and his winters in New Orleans. As a young man Holmes moved to Holmesdale and took up the practice of law, in what William S. Ward called, "a desultory fashion." As a poet he took "old tags of nursery rhymes and fashioned out of them some of the tenderest lyrics ever written" - Mosher. Bishop 422.2 PRESS/W39

Roy. 4to., First Edition, with 20 fine full-page tinted plates and an illustration in the text; original pictorial wrappers, front wrapper (only) stained, uncut edges a lightly frayed as often else a remarkably crisp, clean copy. Sir Muirhead Bone (1876-1953) created much of his finest work as Official Artist on the Western Front in WWI. The culmination of this period is his striking series of drawings (over 200 in all) published as 'The Western Front' (1916-17). Issued in ten monthly parts, each number contained 20 plates captioned on the facing page with text by C.E. Montague and prefaced by a short introduction by GHQ (it is believed that the introduction to the first part was penned personally by Douglas Haig). The original parts were later combined and sold as two bound volumes (volume one comprising parts 1-5 and volume two parts 6-10). The parts were sometimes loosely themed, e.g. 'Trench Scenery', 'The Battle of Arras', but whatever the subject the best of his work is quite outstanding. '[Bone] brings the contrasts and the anonynimity of that First World War to life in chalk and pencil. Bone was particularly good at observing vast industrial activity and in showing myriad figures from above, a sort of Piranesi in reverse' 'Houfe' (1978). Copies of the original issues are uncommon, especially in this condition. Enser, p.26.

The dustwrapper carries the first state price of 12s 6d rather than the later 15s. The first edition of Bone's contribution to this wonderful and much sought-after series was published in 1938. This thoroughly revised edition is scarce in its own right, especially in this condition. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
