A.K. Wickham

The Villages of England.

London: Batsford, 1932. Hardcover. Good Condition / Good Condtion. Item #520411

63 pages, several illustrations, 1 folding map, coloured frontis. Original turquoise cloth, gilt lettered. With dustwrapper. Some paper loss to front panel. Tear to back panel. First few pages loose. Dustwrapper protected with a removable clear wrapper. The Batsford books of the 1930s-1950s occupy a sweet spot between reference work and decorative object. Their appeal now lies as much in the vibrant dustwrappers - modernist in spirit, pastoral in subject - as in the texts themselves. Together the book and wrapper form a coherent, collectible aesthetic: bright, optimistic, and unmistakably of their period, yet still wonderfully contemporary. Size: 17 x 24 cms.
