Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. 1913. First edition ( No. 52 of a limited edition of 75 copies). xv, 211pp., 10 coloured plates from paintings by Edwin Alexander and numerous black and white plates from photographs by Ewen Kennedy. This is a privately printed memorial volume to Ewen Kennedy (1880-1909, edited by his sister May Macdonald. Ewen was born in Bradford, where he lived until his family moved to Edinburgh in 1884. He was a keen naturalist and ornithologist and a gifted amateur photographer, this is reflected in this book. His sister writes in her foreword: "The following pages do not pretend to be a biography of Ewen Kennedy. I have simply gathered together his letters, diaries, and notes, and from those selected have arranged in chronological order the following account of his life and work." The book is bound in the original brown buckram cloth covered boards with gold titling on a leather label on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling to the boards and bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with browning to the free endpapers and light foxing to the frontispiece portrait and the last page of the book. The front free endpaper has the following inscription that we believe to be by the editor, May Macdonald: "To Edith in remembrances of her old friend - November 1913."
