First Editions by Winston Churchill

Description

This is a very good First English edition set in lovely condition, with bindings that are square and tight, gilt titles that are bright, and cloth that remains a deep red. The corners are sharp, if just a touch turned on Volume II, and there are two pronounced scratches to the Volume II rear board. The spines are only nominally faded, with a short tear in the cloth at the spine head of Volume II. The contents are fine, with barely a spot or two of foxing in each volume.

The set is elegantly preserved in full-burgundy leather clamshell boxes

Collector's Guide

Lord Randolph Churchill was Winston Churchill’s first work of biography and an impassioned two-volume defense of his maligned father’s posthumous reputation. It was subsequently issued in an unabridged one-volume edition and is a bulwark of any Churchill collection.
