The last Scholartis Press imprint?
Wild flowers in literature
London: Scholartis Press, 1934. First edition, 8vo, pp. 372; fine copy in original green cloth lettered in blue on spine, dust jacket with slight wear at extremities. Both the binding and the jacket bear a George Allen & Unwin imprint. The Scholartis Press, founded by Eric Partridge in 1927, suffered its demise with the Great Depression and went bankrupt in 1931. Wild Flowers in Literature was likely the press's last book, bought up in sheets and published by George Allen & Unwin. Some copies have an Allen & Unwin cancel label on the title page and some have gilt stamping on the spine. Rendall's name on the spine of this binding is misspelled "Rendell." Item #51549
Price: $125.00
