London, John Lane The Bodley Head, 1904
The author's first novel, a fantasy set in the future and featuring a main character based on Max Beerbohm. Signed copies of this book are of the utmost scarcity; we have handled only one other example.
First edition, first impression, signed by the author; 8vo; 7 plates by W. Graham Robertson and one map, 2pp. advertisements, one or two pages slightly roughly opened, a few short marginal tears, contemporary gift inscription to early blank leaf; publisher's grey cloth, decoration and titles to upper board and spine in black and red, grey topstain, bookplate to front paste down, cloth a little dusty, spine somewhat faded, otherwise very good indeed.
