A Farewell to Arms. First edition, in a well-preserved example of the dust jacket illustrated by Cleonike Damianakes (1895-1979), renowned for her classical-style designs favoured by the Lost Generation writers.The first printing, as here, does not have the legal disclaimer which appeared on page x in the second and third printings. The dust jacket is in the first issue, misspelling the heroine's name as "Katharine Barclay" on the front flap and carrying reviews of The Sun Also Rises (1926) and Men Without Women (1927) on the rear panel.
