Dimbleby, Josceline Profound Secret, A: May Gaskell, Her Daughter Amy and Edward Burne-Jones
London, United Kingdom Doubleday 2004 0385603231 First Edition Dark Blue Cloth Very Good Very Good 8vo
xxiv., 344pp., 8 col. & many b/w illus. family tree, biblio.,illus. eps. Some bumping to extremities, rubbing, edgewear to unclipped dj. 'In her search, Josceline came across a cache of unpublished letters from Burne-Jones to her great-grand mother May Gaskell, Amy's mother. These letters turned out to he part of a passionate correspondence, of up to five letters a day, which continued throughout the last six years of the painter's life. As she read, more and more questions were raised: why did Burne-Jones feel he had to protect May from an overwhelming sadness? What was the deep secret she had confided to him? And what was the tragic truth behind May's beautiful daughter Amy's wayward, wandering life, her strange marriage and her unexplained early death? In piecing together the eventful life of her great-grandmother, Josceline Dimbleby takes us through a turbulent period in English history that includes the Boer War, the Great War and the Second World War, and visits the most far-flung corners of the Empire. The Souls, William Morris, Rudyard Kipling and William Gladstone all play a part in this sweeping, often funny and sometimes tragic story.' [70]

Dorothy Elmhirst My Special Anthology
Totnes Dartington Press 1979 Limited Decorated Boards Near Fine 8vo
unpaginated [48], One of 100 hardback copies, from a total edition of 1000. Originally collected by Dorothy Elmhirst (1887-1968) beteween 1939 and 1945, and discovered in her papers after her death. Born to privilege, Dorothy maintained friendships with many actors and artists, writers, politicians, scientists and other intellectuals, who were prominent in England and America in the first half of the century. She was also a friend and benefactor of many hundreds of other individuals from all walks of life. Dorothy Elmhirst had considerable influence, and an extensive social circle, which enabled her to make Dartington Hall a refuge for the development of progressive thought, contemporary dance and theatre, music, and modern art. A confirmed pacificist in the 1930s, during World War II, Dorothy lectured to audiences in England about America, and toured more than 80 American cities speaking about Britain, all in support of the war effort. Her American interests included four national magazines, Antiques, ASIA, Theatre Arts, and The New Republic which she co-founded in 1914. In Britain, her interest in drama led her to become a shareholder in the Globe and Queen's Theatres Ltd. These London theatres were acquired with profits from her investment in the first staging of R C Sherriff's play, Journey's End, in 1929. At Dartington Hall, Dorothy was a founding trustee with a full and active role in the administration of all activities of The Dartington Hall Trust. Minor soiling to covers, esp. spine area. [29]

Unpaginated [240], col. & b/w illus. minor wear. '. Not to be ignored, in terms of the language of graphics, stickers represent a never-before articulated dichotomy, as technology and lo-fi mark making create an instant revolution in communication; these messages are subversive, imaginative, amusing and often-times intriguingly coded. Having circumnavigated the globe and dug into archives, authors have amassed some rare finds, both as originals (unpeeled and pristine) and in-situ photographs. Represented here are highly prized examples from cities renowned for their sticker art, including San Francisco, New York, London, Tokyo and Amsterdam, alongside choice finds from locations off the beaten track, including Stockholm, Antwerp, Manchester, Paris, Reykjavik, Melbourne and Berlin' [109]

Douglas Annand, Sydney Ure Smith (ed.) Douglas Annand, Drawings and Paintings in Australia
Sydney Ure Smith 1944 First Edition Illustrated Boards Good No Jacket Tall 8vo
96pp., 14 col. & 79 b/w illus. Some spotting to prelims., spine faded, split at head and tail, decorated boards faded to edges, bookseller ticket to fr. pastedown. ' Born in Toowoomba in 1903, Annand grew up in Brisbane. He moved to Sydney in 1930 and was soon successfully freelancing as a design consultant. From the thirties on he created a sophisticated corporate image for many of Australia's large companies, including Atlantic Union Oil, Farmer's, David Jones and Orient Line (later P & O). He produced innovative and stylish cover designs for The Home, while his stunning photomontage poster designs for the Australian National Travel Association broke new ground in modern design. In 1937 he designed new Australian coins and his kangaroo penny remains as one of the most iconic images in Australian design. As Art Director for the Australian Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair Annand brought Australia to the forefront of international design. His work in murals developed from this time and he eventually won the Sulman Prize for his murals for Bathurst Public School, Jantzen and the Orient Line. Annand was part of an Australian graphic design tradition which was concerned more with art and aestheics than commercialisation. Unlike most of his colleagues, Annand chose not to work overseas and instead set new standards for Australian designers, creating images that were international in their philosophy yet typically Australian and always typically Annand. He served as a camouflage artist during the Second World War. Always a keen observer of the beauty and detail of the world around him, he spent every spare moment filling sketchbooks with drawings and watercolours. It was a passion which continued throughout his life. ' [158]

'During the Normandy campaign that followed the D-Day landings in 1944 the Author, as an officer in a tank regiment, refused to obey an order that he thought would involve the civilian population in unnecessary casualties. It was in fact the boiling over of a disaffection of conscience about the unconditional surrender policies of Churchill and the War Cabinet, and it resulted in court martial and a spell of imprisonment in Wormwood Scrubs and Wakefield Prison. The framework of this book is a collection of letters he wrote to his parents during his military service and his term of imprisonment' [43]

Dugald Gardner Surgeon, Scientist, Soldier, The Life and Times of Henry Wade 1876 - 1955
London Royal Society of Medicine Press 2005 1853156612 First Edition Illustrated Boards Near Fine 4to
xvii., 437pp., col. & b/w illus., biblio.. Minor wear to covers, contents fine. 'Featuring over 150 images (including both colour and black and white photographs), complete with a captivating commentary on the life of Henry Wade, one of the most distinguished and eminent surgeons of the past 100 years, this book will be a welcome addition to all of those interested in surgery and the history of medicine. Born in Falkirk, Wade became a Resident House Surgeon in the 'new' Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh before serving with the army in South Africa. Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1903 and election as Conservator were followed by pioneering cancer research and a period as an hospital pathologist. During military service in the 1914-1919 war Wade took a large number of photographs in Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine which remain of extreme interest and many are featured in this book. Awarded the DSO and appointed CMG, he returned to Scotland, married and established a nursing home. In 1935 Wade became the 153rd President of the RCSEd. He retired in 1939 but continued on the General Medical Council and was influential in the creation of the Scottish NHS. A principle theme of "Surgeon, Soldier, Scientist: The Life and Times of Henry Wade" is the evolution of twentieth century surgery. Wade was a pioneer who achieved success in surgery, prominence in science, honour in war and great influence in medical politics.' [42A]
