John Minton (illustratore). First edition, first impression, in the first state binding, presented in the John Minton designed unclipped dust wrapper. Bound in yellow cloth, gilt lettering to green spine. The wrapper is in two pieces, with jagged tears running through the spine and front joint. There is some loss around the splitting, including most noticeably to the head of the spine. Some closed nicks to the top edge of the panels, with some creasing and losses at the extremities. It is a touch toned with the odd spot. The book itself is a little bumped and faded at the spine ends, the extremities similarly; the cloth remains generally bright. The hinges are a touch loose, but the binding is otherwise firm. The fore edge and the prelims are a little spotted. The leaves are a smidge age-toned towards the edges, else generally bright. A smart first impression and first state example with the dust wrapper in need of sympathetic restoration.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by John Lehmann, London in 1948. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Original publisher's yellow buckram boards with green titling and decoration to the spine. This is the second state binding of the first printing (The first state had the binding of yellow buckram stamped in green and gilt on the spine). Some light pushing at the spine ends and mild bumping to the lower front corners. Internally clean. The fragile WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. Light edge-wear at the spine ends and corners. A few small closed tears and a little toning to the spine and flap edges. Some very superficial rubbed areas to the spine and a very tiny area of loss to the front flap fold, which are barely discernible. The wraparound wrapper artwork by John Minton looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. 8 colour plates, and over 50 black and white drawings, mainly full-page, by John Minton. Alan Ross and John Minton's artistic collaboration and ode to the island of Corsica. Ross and Minton were commissioned by the publisher John Lehmann to travel to Corsica and put together a book of words and images. They visited the island in the post-war summer of 1947. The resulting travelogue contains history, descriptions, impressions, maps, stories, poems and illustrations. Minton's Neo-Romantic illustrations perfectly capture the heat and spirit of the island and the book is arguably his most successful and influential illustrated work. The title comes from the Louis MacNeice line - 'Time was away and somewhere else.' [Spalding, Frances. John Minton. Dance Till The Stars Come Down. 2005. p. 109-14.]. One of the nicest copies that we have handled to date and now increasingly elusive in collectible condition. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. Minton, John (illustratore). 1st Edition. A very beautiful travel book, with an astonishing amount of John Minton's atmospheric illustrations - from the tiny page headers to the full colour lithographs and many, many in black and white.the book is bound in brilliant lemon yellow with a lengthwise green spine label with gold titles, but, alas, no jacket. There is very minor, faint foxing to the top of the back paste down endpaper, and a few faint fox prints to top page edges.

First edition. Illustrations, including eight full-page ones in colour, by Minton. 4to. Original second state binding in yellow cloth with green lettering on spine, dust jacket also designed by Minton. London, John Lehmann. A very good copy, dust jacket with some edge wear and browned along spine and verso. With a clipping from a Christie's catalogue on a Minton artwork loosely inserted.  From the library of Orwell scholar and former UCL deputy librarian Ian Angus, with his neat pencilled ownership to the front free endpaper.

FIRST EDITION, frontispiece, title-page design and drawings throughout by John Minton (many full-page and some colour-printed), title-page printed in green and black, pp. 189, royal 8vo, original canary yellow cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt against a green ground with decorations in gilt at either end, the lettering a little rubbed, corners at head gently knocked, very faint mark to upper board, very faint tape shadows to free endpapers, the dustjacket with an overall design by John Minton, a little chipped at corners and ends of backstrip panel, the latter a little tatty at foot with some external tape repair to tears, the same at head of upper joint-fold, very good. Inscribed by John Minton on the flyleaf, in his distinctive hand: 'Kenneth - from Johnny, Nov. 1948'. The recipient was Kenneth Lawrence, with whom Minton had been at Reading School in the 1930s - hence, perhaps, the use of a familiar form of his name, not generally used in his adult life. The pair remained close, with Lawrence receiving numerous letters and artworks from Minton before the latter's early death in 1957. Ross's travel narrative and poetry combine with Minton's wonderful illustrations to achieve an elegant and highly distinctive work, one of the most admired works of illustration in its era; presentation copies are uncommon.
