This 1926 Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition of Warwick Deeping’s “Sorrell and Son” is a captivating time capsule from the golden age of Hollywood.

This edition, published to coincide with the film’s release, offers a unique glimpse into the era when novels and their cinematic adaptations were closely intertwined. While this particular copy bears the patina of age, with wear and tear to the binding and discoloration to the pages, it remains a cherished artifact for collectors and readers alike. The inscription on the inside cover page adds a personal touch, hinting at the book’s journey through time and the hands of its previous owners. Despite its well-loved appearance, the secure binding and clean pages ensure that Deeping’s poignant tale can still be enjoyed by modern readers, transporting them to a bygone era when literature and film converged to captivate audiences.
