About This Item
London: Duckworth & Co., 1919. Hardback. Very Good. 7.5" by 5.5". None. A scarce and witty collection of aphorisms of observations of the nature of women. With such facetious remarks as 'Women are so transparent - look at their blouses!'. Humorously published under the pseudonym 'Not By Louis Wain'. Louis Wain was an illustrator best known for his anthropomorphized cats and kittens, and also published a work titled 'Cats'.A scarce work. The seventh impression of this work, which had first been published in 1916. A rather tongue-in-cheek account of the differences between men and women, and what to look out for when courting. In the original paper covered boards. Externally generally smart, with some wear to the spine and a little edgewear. Contemporary ownership inscription to the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good
