CABLE, Mildred & Francesca FRENCH ~ Through Jade Gate and Central Asia.

FIRST UK PRINTING. Constable & Co Ltd, London: 1927

8vo., sage green cloth lettered in contrasting green to upper board and spine; upper edge stained green; together in the unclipped photographic dustwrapper (10s. net); with frontis, folding map showing Tibet, Mongolia and Turkistan, and a further 12 captioned illustrations throughout text; THE BOOK a very good plus copy, slightly sunned at spine tips with some associate pushing; endpapers offset but otherwise excellent; THE DUSTWRAPPER good, but seldom found at all, darkened in places with some creasing and marking, loss to panels at edges, particularly lower edge of front panel and upper edge approaching the spine, resulting in a little loss of title lettering; with no evidence of tape repair or restoration. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First UK edition, first printing. This copy comes together with ephemeral advertisment for other titles by French and Cable, a lecture which was held on the 23rd March 1933, and a photograph of the women alongside a review from 'The Spectator'. Scarce in the dustwrapper.
