A propos de cet article

FELLOWES, Daisy Éditions De France 1935 Exemplaire No 15 Illustrations de Vertes Bound by Riviere & Sons London 10 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 1 7/8"D A deluxe copy of Daisy Fellowes’ twentieth-century fairy tale, with two original drawings by Vertès. This copy owned by Diana and Duff Cooper, with their Rex Whistler bookplate pasted in. Fellowes and Vertès devised the idea for the book whilst taking the waters at the spa town of Dax in the Basque country. The fellow guests and townspeople inspired the characters that populate the bumpy tale of rags-to-riches. Fellowes’ text is accompanied by numerous charming line illustrations by Vertès. This deluxe edition is signed by the author and artist, and includes two additional suites of the illustrations and two original drawings for the book. The first drawing depicts a waiter outside a French café and the second shows a man lying on a bed and a young woman kneeling by him. Both drawings are executed in black ink, with some additions in white. The wrappers are striking in “Shocking Pink”, the trademark colour of Fellowes’ favourite couturier Elsa Schiaparelli. Daisy Fellowes was a socialite and heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune. The association of this copy with the Coopers is fascinating. Daisy and Duff carried on a long on-off affair, which at times Duff’s wife Diana was remarkably tolerant of. The two women epitomised the modern phrase of “frenemies”. DESCRIPTION Daisy Fellowes.
