[Count D'Epremesiul]: 'En Wherry - Trois semaines dans les Broads du Norfolk', Paris, 1892, 1st edition, 5 photogravure plates + folding map as called for, contemporary half calf gilt, ownership signature of James Hooper, translator, and with several m/s letters dated March to June 1893 between Hooper and Jarrolds the publisher re translation of the work, together with a further quantity of 1960's m/s correspondence between Frank C Chambers and Coleman Green re translation of the work. The only early Broads book to be written in a foreign language, the author was Count D'Epremesiul from the Chateau de Thisbermount near Dieppe, who relates a three week excursion through the Norfolk Broads. Jarrold and Sons hoped, in 1893, to publish a limited edition in English in association with James Hooper, however, this was abandoned largely due to the cost. A scarce and interesting association copy
