Dealer Notes
50 plates, the frontispiece and extra plate being coloured. Some absolutely classic Max cartoons – my favourites are of Lytton Strachey, The Sitwells, and “The Rare, The Rather Awful Visits of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, to Windsor Castle”, and the one of Aldous Huxley is worth the money alone.
