Title: Brush Up Your Italian: With Thirty Drawings by P.R. Ward. General Editor W.G. Hartog.
Description: London, J. M. Dent, 1952. Reprint of further revised 1949 edition. Decorated cloth, no dust-wrapper. Endpaper maps. xiv+113 pp.. With engaging b/w illustrations throughout. In very good condition, neat owner name inside. Clean, bright and tight. First published in 1931.

The Brush Up series, first published in Rothermere's Daily Mail, is a fascinating reflection of certain British perspectives at the time.
