INDIGO DAYS

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original blue paper-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in the author illustrated dustwrapper. With a portrait frontispiece and 21 further photographs in black and white. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities a little rubbed, the spine tips very lightly bumped. The contents, with light spotting to the closed text block edge that occasionally bleeds onto the margins, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased original dustwrapper, that has two very short closed tears to the top edge of the front panel and another to the top edge of the rear. Not price-clipped (18s on the lower front flap).

An autobiographical account of the Surrealist painter and etcher, Julian Trevelyan's (1910 - 1988) life and his development as an artist before and during the Second World War.
