The Bookplates of G.D. Perrottet
Adelaide, The Wakefield Press, 1942.
Octavo, 25 pages with 12 tipped-in bookplates by George David Perrottet (most are printed in two or three colours, several have applied hand-colouring).
Plain saddle-stapled card covers with attached overlapping wrappers; covers lightly creased and rubbed; light cockling to the top margin (as ever, from the mounting of the bookplates); an excellent copy.
Number 42 of 275 copies. This copy is inscribed and signed by the author 'To Harry Taylor, with every good wish from H.B. Muir, 7.1.43'. The second publication of Harry Muir's Wakefield Press. Provenance: H.B. (Harry) Muir (1909-1992), bookseller, publisher and bookplate collector; by descent. We have not identified the recipient; we don't know if the book was ever presented, or if it was, if it later came back into the author's possession.
