Harold Copping. Good Only. The first UK edition of this work. Undated, dated using Copac. Illustrated throughout, with plates by Harold Copping. Alice Hegan Rice was an American novelist. Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch was Rice's first novel. It tells the tale of a southern family humorously coping with poverty. It is set in a turn-of-the-century urban slum. Rice was inspired to write the book during her philanthropic work in a Kentucky slum area. In original grey cloth binding. Externally, sound with heavy rubbing and bumping to the spine and extremities. Loss to the cloth at joints due to rubbing. Bumping to the head and tail of spine. Hinges are strained but firm. Prior owner's inscription to the recto of front endpaper. Another prior owner's blind stamp to recto of front endpaper, 'From the Private Library of E F Andrews. ' Internally, binding is loosening in places with several pages and plates detached but present. Evidence of amateurish tape repairs to several plates at the gutter and bottom in an attempt to re-attach to binding. Offsetting to page edges and endpapers. Pages are bright, with occasional light spots. Good Only.
