Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Impressions of a visit to Morocco, with a sketch of its history and art. 8vo. xviii, 290 pp. Map; photo plates (32, including frontis. w/ tissue); bibliography; index. Navy cloth boards with cover titles and book design by Margaret Neilson Armstrong (more below). Near Fine. Trivial rubbing to tips; small discolored area on back cover. "Having begun my book with the statement that Morocco still lacks a guide-book, I should have wished to take a first step toward remedying that deficiency. But the conditions in which I travelled, though full of unexpected and picturesque opportunities, were not suited to leisurely study of the places visited. The time was limited by the approach of the rainy season, which puts an end to motoring over the treacherous trails of the Spanish zone. In 1918, owing to the watchfulness of German submarines in the Straits and along the northwest coast of Africa, the trip by sea from Marseilles to Casablanca, ordinarily so easy, was not to be made without much discomfort and loss of time. Once on board the steamer, passengers were often kept in port (without leave to land) for six or eight days; therefore for any one bound by a time-limit, as most war-workers were, it was necessary to travel across country, and to be back at Tangier before the November rains" from the Preface. The book designer's MA monogram is present on front cover illustration. Margaret Armstrong was a prolific book designer, but by 1913 she had scaled back her book cover work as color-illustrated dust jackets began to come into fashion and turned to writing her own books. Thus, this 1920 Armstrong production of Wharton is doubly rare. Lacks the elusive dust jacket which, according to Garrison's Descriptive Bibliography of Wharton, had a photo of the author on the cover and blank flaps and blank back cover [A29.I.a].
