Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 4to. Dustwrapper very slightly nicked, and slightly darkened and rubbed at spine. Inscribed by the author to Paul (later Sir Paul, later Lord) Reilly, "To Paul Misha August '60"; mounted on the front pastedown a presentation typed letter signed from the author to Paul Reilly, 1p. 4to, Design Research Unit, 17 August 1960 - "Another picture book, I fear - but I shall be delighted if you find an odd corner for it somewhere on your bookshelves." Loosely inserted are news-cuttings from The Times of Sir Misha Black's death notice, obituary and notice of memorial service, together with the printed order of service for the last (at St James's, Piccadilly; Reilly gave the address), and an autograph letter signed from Marcus Brumwell (a co-founder with Black of the Design Research Unit in 1943), 1p. 8vo, Creekvean, 12 August 1977, suggesting that Reilly, Director of the Council of Industrial Design (later the Design Council), was the author of the Times obituary ("its very good indeed"). A leading architect and designer, Black was Professor of Industrial Design at the Royal College of Art, 1959-75. "He arrived at these distinctions by a circuitous route," wrote Paul Reilly for the DNB, "for industrial design was an unknown, untaught subject when he was born. He had to work his way towards his final goal through what he called 'stomach fillers' such as book-plates, book jackets, posters and, more important for his future career, exhibition stands . . ." Among Misha Black's early 'stomach fillers' were the dustwrappers for Anthony Powell's first four novels, the first, Afternoon Men, published when Black was just 20 (cf Keith Marshall, Anthony Powell Society Newsletter, 49, 2013). Inscribed by Author(s).…

[1] + 7pp., foolscap 8vo. On eight leaves, stapled together in one corner. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with slight rust marking to title leaf. The title leaf reads: 'THE MAGDALEN STREET | PROJECT | Further information obtainable from: | THE CIVIC TRUST | 79 BUCKINGHAM PALACE ROAD | LONDON S.W.1. | TATe Gallery 0891'. The background to the experiment is explained in the first two paragraphs: 'This is the story of an experiment in civic design. It is also a story of civic co-operation in which self-help was seen to be synonymous with public spirit. To bring it about, some eighty property owners and occupiers in a single length of street combined to give that street a new lease of life; to their efforts were joined those of the Local Authority, the Ministry of Transport, the local bus company, the Civic Trust and some twenty architects and designers. The street was Magdalen Street, in Norwich, and this is how it happened. | In the summer of 1957, discussions took place between representatives of the City Council, headed by the then Lord Mayor, Councillor T. G. Eaton, and officers of the newly formed Civic Trust with a view to initiating some joint project within the city. The Trust proposed a "live" exhibition which would show how greatly the appearance of some given area could be improved, without major alterations or expense, if only all concerned could be persuaded to make an effort - a suggestion for which the Local Authority promised all possible support. Consultation with the City Planning Officer suggested that several areas in particular might profit from a concerted clean-up. At this point a Consultant Architect, Mr. Misha Black, O.B.E., R.D.I., PP.S.I.A., was brought in by the Trust and after careful consideration it was decided that Magdalen Street offered the best opportunities for this kind of experiment.' Black's own account of the project, 'Civic Design in Magdalen Street' is to be found in his 'Black Papers on Design' (1983). Excessively rare: no copies traced, on either OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC.…
