Gloria and Arthur's Copy of Paris Sketchbook by Ronald Searle and Kaye Webb

Paris Sketchbook (1950) is a husband-and-wife collaboration between English artist Ronald Searle and writer Kaye Webb. The very special copy which once belonged to the couple Gloria and Arthur has been offered for sale on the AbeBooks website since July of 2023. Recently, it found a buyer. Whoever the pair may have been, these recipients were lucky enough to have the book signed by both creators with the addition of a small sketch, by Searle, of a Frenchman. Although the book was first published in 1950, this edition is apparently from 1953 and it was presented to Gloria and Arthur in November of 1954.
