About This Item
Maastricht: [A.A.M. Stols] , 1933. Book. Illus. by John Buckland Wright. Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. Original blue paper wrappers with printed label on front cover. In custom made cloth clamshell box. With 11 wood engravings by Buckland Wright, printed on Japanese paper. In this particular copy the wood engravings are tipped in on the pages which is unusual. As this copy is inscribed by John Buckland Wright it might well have been a (proof) copy for the artist. The illustrations represent female figures engraved with a single clever line. The colophon merely states: "From a friend of the illustrator and printer". Inscribed on the colophon page by John Buckland Wright to the Dutch poet and critic Jan Greshoff. JBW came in contact with the publisher Stols through Jan Greshoff in 1929. He engraved Greshoff's portrait for his collection of poems that was published in 1934. Privately printed by Stols for the collector Baron Emile van der Borch van Verwolde. This is the first edition limited to 50 copies with white line engravings. The engravings were reworked as silhouettes in the second edition. The last engraving of a female nude with three ravens refers to the coat-of-arms of Emile, Baron van der Borch van Verwolde. Light foxing to some pages, not affecting the wood engravings. Light wear to spine ends, 3 tiny ink spots to front cover. (43pp.). 25,4 x 16,5 cm. Very rare. .
