For This Alone And Other Poems

Oxford: Basil Blackwood, 1944. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good / Very Good. From the rear panel - "Sgt. R. P. L. Mogg, havung left journalism to join the R.A.F., was shot down over Germany and taken prisoner early in the war. The world of letters is the gainer, for in captivity he has discovered in himself a poetic gift of very high quality. A fellow prisoner, Sgt. J. W. Lambert, has transcribed beautifully and illustrated these vivid poems. Here are two works of art in one cover, and the whole book is reproduced in facsimile as it came from the Prisoner-of-War Camp." Original purple paper on boards with full cover illustration pasted down. The same image as the dust jacket. Some moderate wear to the jacket with some loss. Scattered foxing to the endpapers. The illustrations are stunning.
