Rock, Madeleine Caron (‘M.C.R.’) ~ Or In The Grass : Signed by the Suffragette Author

John J. Wilson, London : 1914

The Sole UK printing published by John J. Wilson, London in 1914. The book is complete and is in Very Good++ condition ; Light pushing to the spine and corners and the pages are age toned; moderate spotting in places with light annotations in a few places. A neat previous owner’s name to front end-paper. The cover design is attributed to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Rock herself attested to this attribution when she presented a copy of the book to the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow before her death (Bonhams). The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. Madeleine and her sister, Dorothea were both Suffragettes and were imprisoned more than once for causing damage to property - At one stage they were sentenced to hard labour. Rock subsequently contributed in 1918 to the W.S.P.U publication ‘Holloway Jingles’. A very good copy of an elusive title. JSIC lists only 6 copies held in institutions. Rare with such attributes.
