Añadir al carritoFIRST EDITION, illustrations to the ads at rear, a little corner-creasing to some leaves, pp. 63, [16, ads], small 4to, original yellow wrappers, with an illustration printed in green and pink to the front (signed 'E.J.'), the illustrator's ownership inscription is above: 'Personal copy. Enid Jones. Nov. 1933', slightly nicked a…t joint ends, fore-margin of rear cover a little creased, small spot at foot of front, very minor handling otherwise, the inside front-cover with the bookplate of Martin & Pamela Finch, very good. The copy of Enid Bagnold, Lady Jones, who provides the illustration to the front cover. Bagnold had studied art under Walter Sickert before becoming an author, but the charm of her work here lies in part in its modesty: a note within the image confesses that 'the hoods [on the prams] are up because they are easier to draw'. It was Bagnold - listed here, along with Vera Brittain, on the Executive Committee and the Literature Sub-Committee - who encapsulated the organisation as 'a West End Club to teach rich mothers East End Wisdom'. It was, more officially, an 'Infant Welfare Centre for Subscribers', giving advice to mothers on diet, nutrition and other aspects of care with a progressive outlook. Leading the advertisements at the rear is a photograph of a caged infant - being a 'Hammersmith member' using the open-air cage, attached to the window of a high-storey, recommended as a source of exposure to 'fresh air', particularly for those families without ready access to a garden.
