A propos de cet article

JONES, Thomas. A Diary with Letters 1931-1950. London: Oxford University Press, 1954. First edition. Thomas Jones, C.H., was one of the most discreetly influential figures in twentieth-century British public life. A Welsh educationalist, civil servant and confidant of prime ministers, he served as Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet from 1916 to 1930, working closely with Lloyd George, Bonar Law, Stanley Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald. His diaries and letters are valued for their unusually intimate view of Whitehall, Cabinet government, interwar politics, appeasement, war and the remaking of Britain after 1945. Octavo, first edition, first impression. original brown cloth gilt, portrait frontispiece, 582 pp., in the original dust jacket. Signed “Portal” on the front free endpaper, from the private collection of Marshal of the Royal Air Force Lord Portal of Hungerford. Lord Portal belonged to the same high world of British public service and national decision-making. A decorated First World War airman, he rose to become Marshal of the Royal Air Force and Chief of the Air Staff during the Second World War, standing at the centre of Britain’s wartime air strategy. In this copy, Jones’s private record of the political and administrative machinery of government is preserved in the library of one of the senior commanders shaped by that world. A notable Whitehall and wartime association: the reflections of a Cabinet insider, owned by Britain’s wartime air chief. The dust jacket is a little rubbed and chipped to the edges and spine ends, with some soiling to the rear panel; the cloth remains clean and the contents are sound.…

Description de la boutique

Arch Books is a specialist rare book business based in Richmond, London, dealing in first editions, fine bindings, travel and exploration books, illustrated books, military history, historical documents, and antique prints. We help private collectors, interior designers, gift buyers, and institutions source distinctive works on paper, with particular emphasis on condition, provenance, bibliographic accuracy, and presentation. Founded in 2020 by Guy Nathan, his own interest in collecting works on paper began in 2005, following a visit to the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair with his grandmother, Pauline Willes, herself a passionate collector. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with historical documents, art, scientific illustration, military ephemera and literature. For someone with a deep interest in history, collecting offered a particularly tangible way to understand the past - not simply through the events themselves, but through the objects, images and words by which they were recorded and experienced at the time. Whether a scientific drawing, a piece of military ephemera or a work of literature, each provides its own direct connection to a particular moment in history. The thrill of holding a first edition of Shackleton’s South, for instance, lies in that sense of immediacy: experiencing the book much as its first readers did in 1919, and encountering his extraordinary story through the same pages that introduced it to the world.
