Red Eagle - The Story of the Russian Revolution and of Klementy Efremovitch Voroshilov, Marshal and Commissar for Defence of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics [bearing a handsome autographed inscription]

Wheatley, Dennis

London: Hutchinson & Co. (Publishers) Ltd., 1937. Hardcover. 390p., plus a 16-page publisher's menu of other Wheatley titles in print.. and catchpennys. A well-gotten-up item, with two differing endsheet maps, many other maps in the text (line-drawn), a bravura frontispiece in color, and many b&w photos, mostly vignette portraits. Wheatley has inscribed the titlepage to one Henry Hopkinson (the British diplomat?) as "Souvenir of a grand evening in Athens," datelining March 1938. Wheatley has, by the way, a remarkably good hand and an instinct for layout. Book-design and condition: thick 8.5x5.5 inch openweave cloth boards, grey, with titling and decoration in red, spine panel slightly toned with handling, mild edgewear, corner-tips a little turned, endsheet maps unmolested, hinges sound, textblock clean, no markings besides Wheatley's. A unique copy in very good shape.
