Harry Craddock
1930 - Constable &, London - First Edition
An exceedingly uncommon bright and shiny first edition of the Mixologist’s Bible. Featuring 750 cocktails, with marvellous art-deco colour illustrations and decorations throughout by Gilbert Rumbold, in original art-deco illustrated covers, using a shiny gold foil transfer which on this copy is bright and sharp. A lovely example without the internal stains, badly damaged covers, and rubbed off spine lettering, to which it is usually prone.
This particular copy is ‘Dedicated, that is, to the heretic, but, nevertheless with all best wishes. St John White. The Savoy 17/x/30’
Harry Craddock left the United States during Prohibition and came to the Savoy in 1920. He became the star of the American Bar and is credited with inventing the White Lady and popularised classics such as the Dry Martini.
‘The way to drink a cocktail is quickly, while it's still laughing at you.’
