? FRANCIS CAMPBELL BOILEAU CADELL R.S.A., R.S.W. (SCOTTISH 1883-1937) CATHEDRAL ROCK, IONA - THE Signed, signed and inscribed verso, oil on board (Dimensions: 36cm x 43cm (14in x 17in))(36cm x 43cm (14in x 17in))Footnote: Provenance: Alex Reid & Lefèvre Ltd, London Note: F.C.B. Cadell had a long-standing love affair with the west-coast isle of Iona and spent many a long Scottish summer painting there alongside fellow Scottish Colourist S.J. Peploe. Together they traversed and transmuted vision into paint across every spot and angle of this artist’s haven. A unique west coast wildness prevails, with a sense of open space and gorgeous, sparkling light, truly an artist’s paradise. Cadell captured the topography and landmarks, the light and the colours as accurately as possible, with surprisingly little artistic licence. He was so accurate that individual rocks can still be matched to photographs of present day Iona. His amazing accuracy allows us to identify this unusual scene of an approaching storm, taking place over Cathedral Rock, Iona at the north end of the island. In a departure from his usual depictions of the coastline of the island under glorious sunshine, the drama of the approaching weather matches the drama and ruggedness of the rocky coastline and the strength and intensity of crashing Atlantic waves. Still fresh and joyful, the storm brings an unexpected brooding quality to the painting. In Crofts, Iona the gorgeous, west coast light returns and in its depiction, Cadell is unfettered and free in his painting. Light, bright and breezy, this is an altogether different approach that shows a light touch in the brushstrokes. Softly slanting and layering over each other, his technique is particularly noticeable in the differing colour and softly cross-hatched texture of the dry stone wall in the foreground. These differing scenes of Iona show Cadell for the true Scottish artist that he was, able to see, respond to and celebrate the true beauty of this small island, no matter which view he focused on, or what weather conditions he experienced.Condition report: Good original condition

FAULKNER, WILLIAM. 1897-1962.The Marble Faun. Boston: The Four Seas Company, 1924. 8vo. Publisher's mottled green paper covered boards, pictorial printed paper title label to upper cover, printed title label to spine, original glassine wrapper, without printed dust-jacket, custom green morocco backed cloth clamshell box. Front hinge started, but tight, clean.FIRST EDITION, REVIEW COPY, OF FAULKNER'S FIRST BOOK, WITH ORIGINAL GLASSINE with The Four Seas Company review slip laid in, with code '8-23-3M.' Phil Stone, who financed the small printing of the book, wrote a preface, and was its primary champion, was also assiduous in 'requesting the dispatch of review copies of The Marble Faun and in checking to see that they had arrived' (Blotner, Faulkner, p 128). There seems to have been no shortage of them sent, albeit with Stone's hectoring. However, in his extensive census in 1974, William Boozer does not mention a single copy, and we locate no review copies at auction, or in the major Faulkner collections. Given the spotty nature of the books distribution, and the undamaged survival of this copies glassine, it seems likely that this review copy was sent without the jacket. See Boozer, William Faulkner's First Book: The Marble Faun, Fifty Years Later, 1974. Petersen A1.1.
