Descripción

First edition, first printing. 1946 date printed to the title page and statement "First Edition" to the copyright page. A generous supply of lovely woodcut and gouache illustrations of fish, coral, sea plants, boats, beaches, diving equipment, the sea, and more by the author/illustrator. Gibbings remained a leader of innovations, new styles and techniques in wood engraved art from his first publication in 1919 through 1957. Though he became quite in demand as a classics illustrator, he wrote and evocatively illustrated numerous of his own books, including the much beloved river travelogue nature books, of which this one is a memoir of his diving and explorations on and under the sea. Fine in teal linen with gilt embossed titles and fish illustration to the spine; in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with a thick line of surface wear to the lower edge of the rear panel, slight age-toning to the spine panel, two very short tears to the upper shelf-edge pf the front panel and tiny nicks and rubs to the upper and lower spine edges. Octavo; 153 pages; postscript; bibliography. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-1650247349814
