Dealer Notes

The signed limited edition of Williamson’s novel of the Western Front. Illustrated by the linocuts of Australian born artist, William Kermode (1895-1959), who had originally requested Williamson to provide captions for his war illustrations; instead, the author wrote a whole book around them: ‘The result’ however, was a most effective combination with Williamson’s raw evocation of the soldier’s lot perfectly complemented by the rough style and subtle humour of Kermode’s images’ (Matthews, p.68). A fine copy of this edition. (Matthews, Henry Williamson A Bibliography, A13, 1930ai).Large 8vo. 9.75 x 6.5 inches.
