First edition, first issue, of Maugham's famous novel based on the life of artist Paul Gauguin.

Stott A22.

Octavo. 2 leaves of publisher's advertisements at end with 6 Eden Phillpotts novels listed and other first issue poitns (tanned, one leaf with portion torn from corner with textual loss, one short marginal tear).
