The Story of Rosina and other Verses. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson
-
First edition. A very nice copy of this illustrated edition. Bound in full leather by Rickers & Son of London. The calf is a little faded in places and rubbed to the edges. Title in gilt to the spine. All edges gilt. Slight weakness to the binding at the half title page but holding well. The text block is in very good, clean condition. This copy belonged to Lady Eden, and there is a lovely gift (if rather fawning) inscription from W. Peel. Probably William Robert Wellesley Peel, 1st Earl Peel (1867-1937) the grandson of Sir Robert Peel. Lady Eden was Sybil Frances Grey (1867-1945), the daughter of Sir William Grey, and mother of Sir Anthony Eden. Two of her other sons were to die in action in the first world war. She was painted by several eminent artists including John Singer Sargent and James Macniel Whistler. The later famously ended in a court case when her husband refused to pay Whistler's bill, and the painting was eventually destroyed. She died in 1945. A very nice association copy. 120 pages. 19cm x 13cm. .
