Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Jacket by Brian Cook Ilustrador. Reprint. First published in 1935, this is a Batsford reissue of 2011. Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of classic Batsford jacket and spine, 2" split to bottom corner of front jacket, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (original price 7s 6d, price on back cover £16.99), some faint grubby fingerprints to unlaminated back jacket, internally clean tight and square, overall a reasonable copy. 116pp, illustrated. A reissue of a truly classic title on the Batsford backlist. First published in 1935, it is a wonderful snapshot of our capital before the Second World War, and a charming insight into our attitudes to urban life back in the Thirties. Our guide Paul Cohen-Portheim offers us his interpretation of life in London through her people, her buildings and her history. Paul Cohen-Portheim (1880-1932), was an Austrian artist and travel writer. He was a proficient linguist and spoke a half a dozen European languages fluently. When World War I broke out, he was painting in Devonshire, and found himself interned for the length of the war. This gave him time to read, observe and meditate, especially on his enforced new home. 'The Spirit of London' was the last thing to be published after his sudden death in 1932. Quite scarce, even in this later reissue.

Index. ***'North Midland Country covers the five counties, of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire. It deals with the famous men and women who have lived in them, including Lord Byron, Samuel Johnson, George Eliot, Izaak Walton and D. H. Lawrence; with the historic country houses such as Kedleston Hall, Chatsworth, Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall; with Chester, Lichfield, Derby, Chesterfield, Ashbourne and all the other historic old towns; and with the landscape itself, the people who live in it, and the delectable byways of local history, archaeology and folklore. From all these points of view the author shows that his chosen district is one of the most richly endowed in England. The volume is no less lavishly illustrated than its predecessors in the "Face of Britain" Series. There is a colour frontispiece, a variety of drawings in the text, endpaper maps, and more than 100 other photographs, engravings and old prints. Text and pictures together should win many new friends for a part of England which is less visited or appreciated than its riches, both of landscape and architecture, deserve.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, now quite hard to find in its original 1948 dustwrapper. One of the wonderfully produced Batsford books, with the beautifully designed wraparound dustwrapper by Brian Cook. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

As a Capital and as an ecclesiastical centre the City has had a long and varied history whose richness has at every period been reflected in the quality and profusion of its buildings. In this book, John Rodgers, author, administrator and Member of Parliament, who was born and bred in and around York, has written a lively introduction to its history and architecture. Like the other books in the same series "York" is magnificently illustrated. There is a map of the town, a plan of the Minster, and a collection of more than 50 photographs and prints of York's matchless streets and buildings. It is the hope of the author and of his publishers that the book will appeal particularly to visitors, and that the citizens of York also may find in it a not unworthy record of their city."
