WALTER WILSON PORTRAIT OF AN INVENTOR

by A. Gordon Wilson

Published by Duckworth. 1st. 1986

Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper. Walter Wilson (1874-1957) lived in that golden age before specialisation, when an inventive engineer could make a significant contribution to anything he touched. Brown boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and diagrams.

A few marks to front cover. Small relevant newspaper cutting stuck to front endpaper. Tape to pastedowns and endpapers. Wrapper is edge-creased with a few nicks; faded to spine.
