1943'. £320195 x 325mm. Well preserved in modern mount & gilt-lined frame. Edward Anthony Craig

(1905-1998) was the son of the artist and stage designer, Edward Gordon Craig, and grandson of

the actress Ellen Terry. He adopted the name Edward Carrick in the late 1920s to assert his own

identity as his career developed in art, film and theatre. Seconded to the Crown Film Unit which

had been developed from the GPO Film Unit to make wartime propoganda films, Craig was artistic

director from 1939 to 1946. This drawing evidently relates to one such film on the war at sea.

Smith. Maggs Brothers, 2012 £81000 copies printed; pp.55; frontispiece portrait of David by Augustus John; new in card wrappers.

First published by Duckworth in 1951, Advice cannot have had a large circulation. This reprint

includes a vivid Self-Portrait and an introductory memoir by the editor. A witty collection of

aphoristic bon-mots, the more acerbic observations nicely leavened by the lightness of Villers

David's touch. 'Travel for pleasure only. Do not be misled when you hear also that 'travel broadens

the mind'. This is an empty phrase, justifying the envy of those who have not travelled, and the

complacency of those who have. Travel is a physical movement; and this has nothing to do with

education. It it had, then air-stewards and naval ratings would be the most educated of men.

Education is quite a diferent thing.'

days man tends to look for little shafts of light that spill from Heaven. My days are probably darker

than yours, and I need, my God I do, all the light I can get. But I am a decent fellow, and I do not

want to be mean and selfish about what little brightness is shed upon me from time to time. So I

propose to share with you a tiny flash that has illuminated my sombre life and tell you that God has

given me a new Turkish colleague whose card tells me that he is called Mustapha Kunt. We all feel

like that, Reggie, now and then, especially when Spring is upon us, but few of us would care to put

it on our cards. It takes a Turk to do that. Sir Archibald Clark Kerr H.M. Ambassador'

typography to binding, dust-jacket, endpapers & title-page. Bauer Typefoundry first commissioned

type metal ornaments and then three text faces and three sets of display initials. Finally, Cinamon

examines the Weiss types in use today with roman & italic fonts available in digital format and as

popular as ever. Several years in the press, this wonderful achievement seems likely to sell out

quicky at what is a bargain price.
