Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn WAUGH (1903-1966). P. R. B. An Essay on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood 1847-1854. [London:] Alastair Graham, 1926.



First edition, one of about 50 copies printed for the author. Presentation copy inscribed by Waugh to John Betjeman: ‘John from Evelyn Stinkers [Stinchcombe] 1946’. A fine association copy of Waugh’s rare first book, preceded only by his adolescent pamphlet The World to Come. Waugh had known Betjeman since the 1920s and, notes Christopher Sykes, it was a ‘close friendship which was largely founded on religious preoccupations’. Waugh tried, but failed, to convert Betjeman from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism. Davis 2.



Octavo. Errata slip tipped-in (offsetting to endpapers). Original blue cloth-backed grey boards, untrimmed, spine with title and author’s name in gilt (slight spotting to fore-edge, boards slightly marked, head and foot of spine slightly bumped); housed in black quarter morocco solander box. Provenance: John Betjeman (1906-1984; presentation inscription from the author) – Frederick Baldwin Adams, Jr. (1910-2001, bibliophile and director of the Pierpont Morgan Library from 1948 to 1969; bookplate, his sale at Sotheby’s London, 6 November 2001, lot 59) – Annette Campbell-White (sale at Sotheby’s London, 7 June 2007, lot 124).
