Lot 0331: W R LEIGH SIGNED BOOK FRONTIERS OF ENCHANTMENT 1940
Frontiers of Enchantment: An Artist’s Adventures in Africa by W. R. Leigh, published by Simon and Schuster, New York, 1940 (fourth printing). A desirable signed copy, featuring a clear, authentic signature of the author on the title page. Leigh, a noted American artist renowned for his depictions of African wildlife and landscapes, combines vivid narrative with his artistic perspective, making this work highly sought after by collectors of travel, art, and exploration literature. The book also retains its original illustrated map endpapers, which remain well preserved. Bound in original publisher’s cloth, the volume is in good to very good condition, with light age-related wear to the covers and minor foxing to pages. Internally clean and structurally sound. A separate handwritten gift inscription dated December 25, 1948, appears on the front endpaper, distinct from the author’s signature. Lacking dust jacket. A solid collectible example of Leigh’s work, offering both historical interest and signed provenance.
