About This Item
London: Gollancz, 1929. Later printing. Bound with a printed cover label in home made wrappers (apparently wallpaper); very good. Some fifteen original individual photographs of the cast, in character, are mounted and interleaved, each signed on the mount by the photographer “Tanqueray.” The leaves are approximately 4 x 7”, and each photo occupies most of the leaf except for the final one, which is half-size. The photos show some oxidation, but are generally in excellent condition. Additionally presented by the photographer on the first blank, “To Ralph [Richardson?] because of our interest in ‘Journey’s End’ from Paul, 1930.” Paul Tanqueray was the most successful theatre photographer of his day, employing the young Cecil Beaton as an assistant.
Synopsis
Set in the First World War, Journey's End concerns a group of British officers on the front line and opens in a dugout in the trenches in France. Raleigh, a new eighteen-year-old officer fresh out of English public school, joins the besieged company of his friend and cricketing hero Stanhope, and finds him dramatically changed...Laurence Olivier starred as Stanhope in the first performance of Journey's End in 1928; the play was an instant stage success and remains a remarkable anti-war classic.
