INCE, Richard B. At the Sign of Sagittarius. London: Faber & Gwyer. 1926. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the striking dust jacket. Bright green topstain, other edges untrimmed. An excellent example, the cloth clean, gently bumped at spine tips, the binding tight and square. The contents fine, some pages uncut, with a little offsetting to endpapers only. The dust jacket priced at 6/- net to spine, complete, a trifle bumped with some mild closed tears and light marks.
Richard Ince was a relatively popular satirist in his day. His range of poetic incisiveness and urbanely polished wit flexes from ‘pompous incompetence’ to the Church, to medieval theology to the British Medical Council. The jacket is sadly uncredited.
