"Ancestors in Silhouette," cut by August Edouart, illustrative notes and biographical sketches by Mrs. F. Nevill Jackson, published by John Lane, the Bodley Head, original 1921, first edition, 9" x 11.5" hardcover (green cloth on boards, black borders, black on white silhouette medallion in the middle, top edge of the text block gilt) with dust jacket, 239 pages.

The book is in good condition: Scattered spots and stains but generally clean contents, binding sound, some play to the hinges, edges of the text block darkened. No ownership marks. The jacket is good with rubbing darkening, and edge wear. The medallion on the front cover has made an impression on the jacket. Very difficult to find a copy with original dust jacket! This is the first copy I ever saw.

No money? No biggie! See my easy layaway plan.
