Rare Book
The English edition of this journal of a US soldier, which depicts the 'Back of the front' ('that muddy life bemused by the din of the guns', blurb), is scarce, and notable for the presence of a dustjacket design by artist K. Romney Towndrow - one of only a few examples of his work in this medium, all of which are striking.
1927, pp. xi, 307, crown 8vo, original yellow cloth, backstrip and upper board lettered in red, publisher's device blind-stamped to lower board, slight lean to spine, a few spots to cloth, tail edge roughtrimmed, one or two spots to edges,dustjacket with a superb design by K. Romney Towndrow, slightly browned to backstrip panel with some light handling and a few faint marks to rear panel, a little nicked, very good
