Frontispiece portrait clumsily reproduced from a medallion by Irma Le Gallienne. First edition. 8vo., original blue cloth. London: John Lane; New York: John Lane and Company; Toronto: Bell & Cockburn, 1914 [i.e., 1913.
A presentation copy inscribed by the author to his sister and her husband: “To Claudia and Jack - with true love from Irma & Dick - 1914.“ Irma was Le Gallienne’s third wife, and this inscription is dated three years into their marriage, which surprised many by lasting until his death: her artistry is not flattered by the frontispiece of Richard. Spine slightly worn and darkened, otherwise a very good copy.
