Hardcover. Etat : New. Special Edition. Condition: (see pics.) The book is unread and in new condition. Yellow ribbon marker, beautifully presented gilt tooling on red leatherette boards. Synopsis: Requiem for a Wren (U.S. title The Breaking Wave) is one of Nevil Shute's most poignant and psychologically suspenseful novels, set in the years just after World War II. Sidelined by a wartime injury, fighter pilot Alan Duncan reluctantly returns to his parents' remote sheep station in Australia to take the place of his brother Bill, who died a hero in the war. But his homecoming is marred by the suicide of his parents' parlormaid, of whom they were very fond. Alan soon realizes that the dead young woman is not the person she pretended to be. Upon discovering that she had served in the Royal Navy and participated along with his brother in the secret build-up to the Normandy invasion, Alan sets out to piece together the tragic events and the lonely burden of guilt that unravelled one woman's life. In the process of finding the answer to the mystery, he realises how much he had in common with this woman he never knew and how a war can go on killing people long after it's all over.…

Hogarth etched Lovat's portrait at an inn in St. Albans on his way to trial and eventual execution. Knowing what awaits him, Lovat is busy at work upon his memoirs. Hogarth has here created the almost archetypal portrait of a psychopath. Both his devious face and gestures show no trace of remorse.This is truly a masterpiece of character examination. Copper engraving. Good condition. Slight staining to the margins, more substantial to top and bottom on the left hand side but not affecting the image. Uncoloured. Size: 24.3 x 37.4 cm. (9½ x 14½ inches).…

Pair of Prints. Originally printed in 1751, each print depicts a different stage in the life of the fictional Tom Nero. Beginning with the torture of a dog as a child in the First stage of cruelty, Nero progresses to beating his horse as a man in the Second stage of cruelty.

Two images on one plate. In The Bench Hogarth illustrates four pompous judges listening to a case in the Court of Common Pleas. Callously inattentive to the case before them, these undignified, pompous men, buried in their robes and wigs, slumber or read. Sarah Malcolm was convicted and hanged for the brutal murder of an elderly widow and her two servants. Hogarth visited her in Newgate prison a few days before her execution. Malcolm's life represented the kind of cautionary narrative that Hogarth utilised within Industry and Idleness and The Four Stages of Cruelty. Copper engraving. Very good condition. Uncoloured.
