Colour frontispiece, hors-texte plates with photographs and drawings by Beaton, text illustrations by Beaton, Rex Whistler, Christian Bérard and others. "Ashcombe" is the name of the country house in the Wiltshire Downs whose lease Cecil Beaton held for fifteen years from 1930. In this book Mr. Beaton has wonderfully succeeded in recreating the atmosphere of those days: the period when the house and garden were being made over from their former unkempt and derelict state into the idyllic home which they later became; the day-to-day life of the house and of the servants and friends who did so much to create the atmosphere; the week-ends, when there would be visits from Rex Whistler, Edith Olivier, Augustus John, Tilly Losch, Lord David Cecil, and so many others; and the parties and fetes-champetres, occasions which are likely never to be forgotten either by the guests or their host'. Beaton was said to be heartbroken when his lease to Ashcombe expired in 1945 and this book is his ode to the house and the good-times experienced there.

Great price on a very good wallet
Material Type: Leather, Color: Brick Brown4203
Good quality, a little thick for the front pocket but I carry in my shirt pocket and it works fine. Would have liked money clip on wire on the inside, but this works. Lots of places to put your cards, medical alerts, driver's license, etc. Good for people who like simple but straight forward organization.
