An die nordische Rasse knüpfen sich die größten Kulturfortschritte, sie ist das Idealbild des deutschen Volkes, sie ist die höchstentwickelte Menschenrasse.

Printed in Bembo type on Portal's handmade paper. Sm. 4to, mustard-yellow Welsh sheepskin with title in a pattern of rules in gilt on the upper cover, spine titled in gilt. A fairly good example of a notoriously weak binding, spotting to the sheepskin, spine a little rubbed, usual offset from turnins. The text was edited by John Sampson's literary executor Dora Yates who kept considerable control over all the stages of production. The mustard-yellow binding was at her behest - she had demanded that it must be bound in a 'gipsy colour, either red or yellow'. W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey leather booklabel on front pastedown.

The Old Gang and the New Gang. London: Desmond Harmsworth, 1933 - Octavo. Original white and black cloth, title to spine black. With the dust jacket. Housed in a grey solander box. Cloth a little toned to spine and board edges; an excellent copy in the jacket with toned spine and extremities. First edition, first impression. A superb presentation copy, inscribed by the author to his wife, "To my darling wife geehos, 1933. Wyndham Lewis." Gladys Anne Hoskins (1900-1979) and Lewis were married in 1930, though he concealed this fact from his friends for much of the 1930s. In 1939 Lewis wrote to the wife of his friend John Rothenstein, explaining that: "my wife and I were most orthodoxly spliced a long time ago I have found myself rather overshadowed by [her] and she has been forced a little into the fray – we have no children. She is blonde, she tends to put on fat, her mother was German, her father a good British farmer she has ridden all over the Atlas on a mule and is a great reader of my books; but you can see she is a wife in a thousand." One of 1,000 copies printed. Morrow & Lafourcade A20. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy] [Bookseller: Peter Harrington. ABA member]
