What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

Signed by many notable figures such as: Sybil Thorndike, the British actress who 'Saint Joan' was written especially for; Prime Minister James Ramsay Macdonald; Philip Snowdon, Chancellor of the Exchequer; Morgan Jones, Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education; Arthur Henderson, Home Secretary. 

These signatures are to a dedication plate tipped in to the front endpaper, 'To J D Morgan, in friendship, with the best of good wishes from.. Cardiff: December 1924.'  There are thirty-five names signed to the dedication plate, most likely with association to Macdonald's ministry and the Labour Party. 

The signature of Sybil Thorndike is below the date on the dedication plate, insinuating this was signed afterwards. 

A fantastic copy of this play. Limited print run of 750 copies on handmade paper. 

Condition

In the publisher's original quarter cloth binding. With light shelfwear to the extremities and minor bumping to the head and tail of spine.
