Albert Buhrer (1891-1991), of Swiss ancestry, was born in London, England, in 1891 into an artistic family, as his father, Conrad Buhrer, was a sculptor and bronze caster and an uncle was the sculptor Alfred Gilbert. Not surprisingly, he gravitated toward art, taking evening classes and studying at the Academie Julian and Atelier Colarossi in Paris. A watercolorist himself, he became a close friend of the renowned watercolorist Sir William Russell Flint. Yet Buhrer clearly had an interest in poetry as seen with this book now being offered, which he published under his birthname, but as early as December 1921 he had also become, for reasons not found, "Adrian Bury" [see The English Review, December, 1921, where he published "Ode to the Dying World"]. By then he was freelancing as a writer and cartoonist, joining the Sunday Pictorial in 1920. By 1932 he was exhibiting, as Adrian Bury, well-received watercolors at the Leger Galleries on Old Bond Street, London, and he continued painting for the rest of his long life, but also continued to write as Adrian Bury, appearing, for example, with a piece on Frederick Leighton, P.R.A., in The New English Review, June 1946, and publishing a wide-ranging number of books well into his later years, including poetry, a biography of his uncle, Sir Alfred Gilbert, and an autobiography. Very good sound copy with some light wear to covers and occasional foxing to a few pages. Original publisher's paper coverd cream boards with title label on front and lettered at beige cloth spine in sanguine.…
