Evelyn Waugh
WAUGH, Evelyn (1903-1966). Vile Bodies. London: Chapman & Hall Ltd., 1930.
The Frederick Adams copy. First edition in the dust-jacket of Waugh’s second novel, a classic satire of decadent London society, the ‘Bright Young Things’ in the inter-war years. The dust-jacket has the price ‘7/6’ on the spine, as the first issue, but the list of books on the lower panel ends with ‘A Wise Man Foolish’ by H.T. Hopkinson not ‘Second Choice’, which suggests a variant slightly later issue. Davis 5.
Octavo. Pictorial title printed in red and black after a design by Waugh, 2-page publisher’s advertisement at end titled ‘Some Press Opinions of ‘Decline and Fall’. Original red and black marbled cloth (spine slightly skewed); original dust-jacket with title-page design repeated (browned, repairs and restoration to spine, folds and some extremities); housed in a red quarter morocco solander box. Provenance: 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 62).
