CATHERINE BARJANSKY in collaboration with Elinore Denniston : Portraits with Backgrounds. A memoir. (INSCRIBED)

The Macmillan Company, New York, 1947

First Edition (first printing). A presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "For Mrs. Martha Richmond, who shares with me love and admiration for my late, dear friend Frederick Welins and his immortal music - Catherine Barjansky New York July 1951". A subsequent inscription from the recipient of Barjansky's inscription notes that the book was later gifted to a third party who has added her own neat bookplate alongside a brief inked note concerning the gift. 8vo. vii, 223pp. Russet-coloured cloth lettered in gold at the spine and upper board. Frontispiece. A touch of very light wear to the backstrip ends, and just a hint of spotting to the top edge. A very good copy in non-price-clipped dust wrapper, somewhat chipped with half a dozen areas of edge-loss, and some tenderness and chipping to several natural folds. The name 'Frederick Delius' in the blurb on the rear flap has been underlined in ink. Laid-in is a folding six-panel flyer issued to accompany Barjansky's 1952 exhibition 'Miniature Sculpture in Wax' at the Newton Gallery, New York. The memoirs of Catherine Barjansky (1890-1965), a Ukrainian-born artist and sculptor, noted for her models in wax.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Poor
