About This Item
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Accounts of Edward, Prince of Wales; Empress Maria-Feodorowna, Sophie of Albania, Michael of Rumania, Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith of England, and other European royalty written by a Romanian princess.
This is one of Bibesco's scarcer books. First edition (first printing, with a 1 on the last text page-the method Appleton used to denote first printings). Spine faded, erased child's pencil scribbling on the front free endpapers, hinges starting, thus only a hardcover bound in purple cloth stamped in gild. Lacking the scarce dust jacket.
