Description
London: Thornton Butterworth, 1948. First edition. Very Good. First editions, handsomely bound together. "The broadest range of Churchill's thought between hard covers, Thoughts and Adventures comprises essays on a wide array of subjects, attesting not only to the breadth of the author's comprehension but of his personal experience" (Langworth, p. 154). The essays muse on his career, his hobbies, the First World War, politics, and the future. Painting as a Pastime was published as one of the essays. It was then published separately in 1948. We have never handled the pair bound together before. Churchill began painting during the First World War, and remained a keen painter throughout his life. 2 works in 1 volume, octavo (211 x 132 mm). Photographic frontispiece, several cartoons in text. Mid-20th-century blue half morocco by Bayntun, spine lettered in gilt, blue cloth sides, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. Bookplate of John Thoburn Williamson (1907-1958), Canadian diamond magnate who built a significant book collection. Spine sunned with some soiling, a little foxing. A very good copy. Cohen A95.1a; Cohen A242.1.a. Richard M. Langworth, A Connoisseur's Guide to the Books of Sir Winston Churchill, 1998. Very Good.
