    Bombay: Tata Graduate School of Social Work, 1943. First Edition. A collection of essays on important issues for social care in wartime. Edited by Kumarappa. A scarce item in itself. There are no copies available online at the time of cataloguing. This copy has a gift inscription to Lady Mountbatten. Original dust wrapper. A little marking and edge wear, with a mark particularly to the front cover. A little darkening to the wrapper. The book itself is in a good, clean condition. Slight darkening of the wartime economy pages. Gift inscription is neatly written to the front end paper. (Nb. Inscription is from the Tata Institute of Social Science - not Kumarappa himself). Edwina Mountbatten, Countess of Burma, was involved in Social Service and the St John's Ambulance during the Second World War, and remained very involved for the rest of her life. Her husband was the last Viceroy of India, and orchestrated the partition. This book was given to her about a month after partition. Jagdisan Mohandas Kumarappa (1886–1957) was an erudite scholar and a passionate social reformer. He championed the cause of social work education and criminology as the director of Tata Institute of Social Sciences. This was the first school of Social Work in Asia, and remains India's top school of Social work. 160 pages. 240 x 170 mm (9½ x 6¾ inches).

    . Une collection d'essais sur des questions importantes pour l'aide sociale en temps de guerre. Édité par Kumarappa. Un article rare en soi (il n'y a pas d'exemplaires au moment du catalogage), cet exemplaire porte une inscription de cadeau à Lady Mountbatten. Emballage original en poussière. Quelques marques et usures sur les bords, avec une marque en particulier sur la couverture avant. La couverture est un peu plus foncée. Le livre lui-même est en bon état, propre. Léger assombrissement des pages relatives à l'économie de guerre. Une inscription cadeau a été proprement inscrite sur la première page de garde. (Nb. L'inscription provient du Tata Institute of Social Science - et non de Kumarappa lui-même). Edwina Mountbatten, comtesse de Birmanie, s'est impliquée dans le service social et l'Ambulance Saint-Jean pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et est restée très impliquée jusqu'à la fin de sa vie. Son mari a été le dernier vice-roi des Indes et a orchestré la partition. Ce livre lui a été offert environ un mois après la partition. Jagdisan Mohandas Kumarappa (1886-1957) était un érudit et un réformateur social passionné. Il a défendu la cause de l'enseignement du travail social et de la criminologie en tant que directeur de l'Institut Tata des sciences sociales. Il s'agissait de la première école de travail social en Asie, et elle reste la première école de travail social en Inde. 160 pages. 240 x 170 mm

The bindings are in very good condition, with a little rubbing to the edges only. Inside, the text and plates have light foxing throughout, but are overall in very good condition.
    Each copy online offers a different number of plates for each of the four volumes - but our copy seems to match the maximum collation for each variation (so seems complete.) The index is of limited use, as it only lists a proportion of the plates. In addition to the four title vignettes, we have: Europe (1844). 364 pages, 49 plates; Asie (1845). 592 pages, 82 plates; L'Afrique et l'Amérique (1844), 368 pages, 43 plates; l'Océanie (1845) 368 pages 36 plates. A total of 210 coloured plates.
    Van der Marck pp. 154-155; Colas 3041; Chadenat 1507. Première édition. 4 grands volumes in-8, (27cm x 17cm) Reliure demi basane bleu nuit, couvertures percaline repoussée, dos à titre et décor dorés.
    Illustré de planches coloriées à la main / gravées à la main. Ceux-ci ont été créés par les principaux illustrateurs de l'époque, dont Duverger, L. Markaert, R. King. Les reliures sont en très bon état, avec quelques frottements sur les bords seulement. A l'intérieur, le texte et les planches présentent de légères rousseurs sur l'ensemble, mais sont globalement en très bon état.
    Chaque exemplaire en ligne propose un nombre différent de planches pour chacun des quatre volumes - mais notre exemplaire semble correspondre à la collation maximale pour chaque variation (il semble donc complet.) L'index est d'une utilité limitée, car il ne répertorie qu'une partie des planches. En plus des quatre vignettes de titre, nous avons : Europe (1844). 364 pages, 49 planches ; Asie (1845). 592 pages, 82 planches ; L'Afrique et l'Amérique (1844), 368 pages, 43 planches ; l'Océanie (1845) 368 pages 36 planches. Un total de 210 planches colorées.
