Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo.(10.2 x 7.8 inches). Illustrated with 96 plates. Publishers original green cloth binding with gilt lettering and ruling to spine. Binding a bit rubbed and bumped but overall sound and the gilt still bright. This copy has a full page original ink self portrait of Orpen on the front blank endpaper, showing the artist painting the famous American Wall Street lawyer and art collector, Paul Cravath. ----The drawing is inscribed by Orpen at the bottom of the page "My very dear Mr Cravath - It was a big job to tackle on those hot summer afternoons you must admit. All good wishes in 1922.-------(?) William Orpen". The drawing shows Cravath, a large man who stood 6ft 4inches, sat posing while a much smaller Orpen, the heat rising from his head and his sleeves rolled up, paints the portrait. ------ The book has the bookplate of the prolific author and traveller Cecil Roberts who has written a note on the blank verso of the frontis piece about Cravath and how he commissioned Orpen to paint his portrait, for a sum of £5000 plus expenses. While staying with Cravath at his Regency Long Island home, where the portrait was painted, Orpen gave Cravath this book as a memento. After Cravath died (in 1940) the house, and presumably some of the contents, was bought by Baron Eugene de Rothschild (in 1942) and Roberts notes that he was often his guest there. He doesn't explain how the book came to be his. There is one more note from Roberts,under the portrait of Lord Riddell (plate XLIX) mentioning his being at a press dinner given for him in 1919. --------- Aside from being third in charge, and legal advisor, of the American War Mission during the Interallied War Conference of 1917, the first American mission to a European council in history, Paul Cravath is mainly known for his "Cravath System" which transformed the way law firms work and is still in use today. The "Cravath system" included hiring new law school graduates, then training them within the firm as associates,and eventually inviting the best to become partners. Throughout the twentieth century most of the growth of the big law firms relied on this system of recruiting, internal training, and loyalty to the firm. ----- A nice self portrait of the Artist at work, all the better for being within a copy of Orpen's fascinating war memoir.: Inscribed by Illustrator(s).

Inscribed warmly by Orpen on the first publisher's blank below an impressive original pencil drawing showing a determined looking British infantryman with full kit and steel helmet set against a shell-churned landscape scattered with crosses. Presentation copies of Orpen's book are extremely uncommon, and this example, inscribed for a soldier and his wife, accompanied by a war drawing, is exceptional. Orpen's inscription reads, "To Leonard & Bettie Deas with love and thanks for buying this book. And in memory of happy days at Howth. William Orpen, London October 1921". As almost all of Orpen's war work - 138 works and undoubtedly the most important part of his artistic output - was donated by him to the British government, now at the IWM, surviving war drawings or paintings are rare on the market. The recipients of this copy were Colonel Leonard Joseph Montagu Deas MB FRCS (1873-1952), of the Indian Medical Service, and his wife, Elizabeth Margaret. The inscription makes reference to "happy days at Howth"; from 1909 to 1912 Orpen and his family spent every August on the coast at Howth Head, the beautiful promontory north east of Dublin that affords panoramic views of the Irish Sea to the east and Bray Head, the Wicklow Hills and Great Sugar Loaf mountain to the south. These weeks he celebrated in a number of paintings, most particularly in "Grace reading at Howth Bay" (private collection) and "A Breezy Day, Howth" (Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin). Orpen rented a house there from the Bellingham family and it is possible that Leonard Deas may have taken a neighbouring property while on leave from service in India. During the war Deas served on the Western Front between November 1914 and December 1915 (not coincidentally with Orpen) then in Mesopotamia. Orpen left for France as an official war artist in April 1917 "and for the next four years was totally immersed in the war and its aftermath. His output, and its overall excellence, makes him the outstanding war artist of that period, possibly the greatest war artist produced in Britain. His paintings of the Somme battlefields are haunting recollections of anguish and chaos, of ruined landscapes baked in the summer sun, the torn ground white and rocky, the debris of the dead scattered and ignored" (ODNB). This is the first edition, first impression, of An Onlooker in France. In his War Books (1930), Cyril Falls awards Orpen's book an asterisk for "a good book" and remarks, "Sir William Orpen writes as he paints; that is to say, there is a hint of mockery in his words, especially when he is dealing with those whom the world calls great. The fighting man he loved, and we find a good deal of affection and respect in him for the fighting man's leaders, at least for a number of them. The politicians whom he met at the Peace Conference in 1919 he neither loved nor respected. His mordant wit and keen but slightly distorted observation - the observation of a satiric artist - makes his book one of the most remarkable of its kind". A particularly desirable copy of a book which deals movingly with the experience of the British soldier and airman and which carries a poignancy in Orpen's inscription, recalling the easy summers before the calamity of the war, a period recalled by Osbert Sitwell in the title of his first novel, Before the Bombardment. Falls * pp. 222-3. Large octavo (241 x 178 mm). Contemporary dark yellowish green calf, gilt lettered direct to the spine, light yellowish green buckram boards, top edge gilt, pale pink and blue Fantasy pattern marbled endpapers. Sepia-toned half-tone portrait frontispiece of Earl Haig and 95 similar plates. A little rubbed at extremities, spine sunned to moderate reddish brown, tan burn to free endpapers, foxing to endpapers and edges, minor encroachment into the margins, overall very good.

First edition, first printing. Inscribed by the artist with a full page original drawing. Publishers original green cloth binding with gilt lettering and ruling to spine. Illustrated with 96 plates throughout the text. A very good copy, the binding a little rubbed and bumped, the spine with evidence of a removed label, but overall sound and the gilt still bright. The contents are entirely complete, the inner hinges cracked but holding, the occasional finger mark to the margins otherwise clean throughout. Bookplate of the author and journalist Cecil Roberts to the front pastedown, with his notes in blue ink concerning the provenance of this volume to the blank underside of the frontispiece. Housed in a purpose made black quarter morocco solander case. With a full page original ink self portrait of Orpen on the front blank endpaper, depicting the artist painting the famous American Wall Street lawyer and art collector, Paul Cravath. The drawing is inscribed by Orpen at the bottom of the page "My very dear Mr Cravath - It was a big job to tackle / on those hot summer afternoons you must admit / All good wishes in 1922. / Yours / William Orpen". Roberts' note on the reverse of the frontispiece explains that Cravath was presented the book, embellished with hand drawn portraits of both subject and artist on completion of his commissioned portrait (painted at Cravath's Regency Long Island home), for which Orpen was paid a sum of £5000 plus expenses. The house, and presumably some of the contents, was bought by Baron Eugene de Rothschild after Corvath's death in 1940, Roberts noting that he was often his guest there, although doesn't elaborate as to how the book entered into his ownership. There is one more note from Roberts, under the portrait of Lord Riddell (plate XLIX) mentioning his being at a press dinner given for him in 1919. Aside from being third in charge, and legal advisor, of the American War Mission during the Inter-allied War Conference of 1917, the first American mission to a European council in history, Paul Cravath is mainly known for his "Cravath System" which transformed the way law firms work and is still in use today.
