Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition, 5th impression, Hodder and Stoughton Limited, London, 1925. Hardcover. Lacking the dust-jackets. Hollyer, Frederick (illustrator). Two volumes, octavo size, 713 pp. An illustrative account of the years leading up the Great War, by English author, countryman and politician Viscount Grey of Fallodon (Edward Grey 1862-1933). This and Grey's other well-known work "The Charm of Birds" were written toward the end of his life, despite ill-health and failing vision, with help and encouragement from his new wife Pamela Genevieve Adelaide Tennant (Lady Glenconner). He was involved in politics at the highest level, and was sent as an ambassador to the U.S. in 1919 to persuade the Senate to join the League of Nations. His two famous works represent the two conflicting interests that dominated Grey's life: his devotion to the "real" world politics of his professional life, and the observation of the natural world and ornithology, which juxtaposition places him in a unique position among his contemporaries. The exceptional portraits of Grey in these volumes were taken by Frederick Hollyer (1838-1933) and Hugh Cecil (1890-1974), and prepared as gravures for these volumes by Emery Walker (1851-1933). Walker was a prominent English process engraver and typographer, and a central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. He was a friend of William Morris, and founded the Doves Press shortly after Morris' death in 1896 with T.J. Cobden-Sanderson. Walker supervised the design of the famous Doves typeface, used in all the Press's publications; sadly the famous type ended up at the bottom of the Themes after the founders fell out in 1906.
