Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Dorrien-Smith (illustrator). First Edition. ALS (Autograph Letter Signed): Tipped in, an original manuscript letter from Clara Coltman Rogers (also Lady Vyvyan, and here under the pseudonym C.C. Vyvyan) to the first President of Ireland, Douglas Hyde, though at the time of this accompanying letter - October, 1932 - he was not yet, of course, president, and is addressed by her as Dr. Hyde. Book: Truro, Cornwall: Jordan's Bookshop, 1931. First edition, with the above ALS tipped in; scarce dust jacket illustrated by artist Gwen Dorrien-Smith. Signed as C.C.Vyvyan on the title page, also signed with inscription not personalized on the ffep, there dated September, 1932. See scans. The book is itself a presentation copy to Hyde. 12mo, 226 pp. + ads; just barely good condition for the book and jacket - the book with some water marks on the cover, bumped corners, and a small amount of splaying (curving) to the thin boards, and the jacket with age-toning, some soiling, and a number of peripheral chips. See scans. ALS itself is in near fine condition, being taped to the verso of the ffep. The disparity between the inscription date (September, 1932) and the date of the letter (October 23, 1932) is not explained, but may be because the inscription, which was itself generically worded and unsigned (with the signature being instead at the title page) would have been done as one of a number of such in September. A collection of charming Cornish character and scene pieces by C.C. Rogers (Clara Coltman [Coulton] Rogers, Lady Vyvyan), ala "Lady Vyvyan", with the scarce dustjacket, the art for which was executed by her friend and traveling companion, Gwen Dorrien-Smith. In the letter - after quipping "I love the picture of you translating over 4 tumblers of punch," she thanks Hyde for a book he had sent her ("Adventures of [not legible]"), and for his offer to loan her some Irish poems for her upcoming poetry anthology, though by that time the anthology had been completed. Unique ALS, with a scarce, collectible example of the book, involving a charming writer, a well-known jacket artist, and historical figure Hyde. L53n. Signed, Inscribed, Dated By Au.
