About This Item
London: The Curwen Press, 1931. 1st. Original Wraps. Collectible; Fine. Lovely 1931 travel booklet, issued by The London and Northeastern Railway and wonderfully illustrated in rich color (and black-and-white) by the great graphic artist Edward Bawden. A clean, very well-preserved copy to boot: Crisp and Near Fine in its stapled orange wrappers, with just the slightest hint of age-toning along the spine. Octavo, beautifully designed and published out of London by Curwen Press.
