1926102982London: Claude Stacey Limited 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London Claude Stacey Limited 1926. Large quarto xii ii 175 pages with many hundreds of portrait illustrations from photographs. Dark green cloth top edge gilt; covers lightly marked and rubbed at the extremities with minimal wear to one corner; front flyleaf and half-title a little cockled by items mounted on them details below; minor signs of handling it looks as if one leaf pages 67/8 has been neatly excised and reinserted at some stage; two newspaper clippings mounted on the rear flyleaf; overall a very good copy. Provenance: the front flyleaf is inscribed 'To M. Fisher from Sidney Wilcox. 5 Sept 1928'. Mounted below this is a short autograph note signed by M.S. Fisher: 'Left for perusal by Mr Justice Mayo Dr John Mayo Dr Helen Mayo and for permanent retention if they would care to have it. 3.iii.52'. Mounted on the half-title is a newspaper clipping depicting Irene Mayo 'who speaks four languages. However instead of an academic career she prefers modelling jewellery on TV'. Wilcox Fisher and Mayo are all significant local South Australian family names. Sidney Wilcox bequeathed his substantial Brougham Place residence for the creation of a residential college for women St Ann's College; the Mayo dynasty needs no introduction; M.S. Fisher worked for 'The Advertiser' and he and his family regularly featured in the society news. We are uncertain how the two other cuttings portraits of young women and the loosely inserted colour snapshot of an elderly gentleman dated 1972 are connected; perhaps the latter is Mr Fisher.
