    Description

    This is an extremely rare and quite interesting original late 1915 1st Edition softbound copy of illustrator John Hassall's scathingly funny satire of the First World War, as depicted in his cartoon panorama style here in "Ye Berlyn Tapestrie: Wilhelm's Invasion of Flanders", founded on the famous Bayeux Tapestry which recorded incidents of the Invasion of England by William the Conqueror in A. D. 1066.
    It was printed by Edmund Evans, Ltd., of London, England. The volume is bound in light tan illustrated light card stock covers, with an overhand edge all around, and folds out in one continuous panel throughout the book.
    The volume is in generally very fine condition overall, with clear and legible text and illustrations throughout and good and consistent color to the pictures as well, showing some slight edge wear, a couple of small edge chips/tiny tears to small portions of the cover extremities, and minor corner bumping to the overhang covers, and a tiny bit of edge wear to the interior from light handling over the years, barely discernible as it was kept safely in an artist's "morgue file" for several decades. It measures approximately 5 1/2" by 7" overall folded closed.
    Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions you might have regarding this item, and I'll do my best to provide a satisfactory and timely reply. Overseas bidders are welcome, but must also take into account that shipping to other countries may translate into somewhat higher postal charges, and that if you wish to have the item insured, when the service is available, it will also have to be declared as to actual value for customs, which will add more fees and perhaps value added taxes in your respective countries. I'm willing to be flexible about shipping items at the cheapest possible rates, but can't be responsible for items that are either damaged or go missing when not insured against that unfortunate possibility.
