The Way of All Flesh. Illustrated with wood engravings by John Farleigh.
London, Collins, 1934 Stock Code: 43801
A fine binding for this attractive edition of Butler's major novel, first published posthumously in 1902, a powerful autobiographical work recording his pained and satirical dissent from patriarchal Victorian hypocrisy. Farleigh was one of the best wood-engravers of the pre-War era, achieving his greatest success with the illustrations to George Bernard Shaw's The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God (1932).
