FIRST EDITION, 47/500 COPIES, frontispiece by Wyndham Lewis (this with a split at foot to inner-margin, not close to image) and 14 plates by the author on coloured paper, the plates repeated at rear on white paper, pp. [iv], 124, [1] + Plates, crown 8vo, original black boards, printed label to backstrip a little browned and chipped, some tissue repair to joints, edges untrimmed, good. Inscribed by the author on the flyleaf: 'To Harry F. Marks, very cordially, Jean de Bossch�re'. The recipient was the New York bookseller and publisher, who published an edition of Horace Walpole's 'Hieroglyphic Tales' with Bossch�re's illustrations in 1931 - from when this inscription perhaps dates. The plates at rear are extra - the colophon refers to fifty copies having doubles of the plates numbered and signed, but that is not the case and, though welcome enough, they have slightly exacerbated what is already an oddly-constructed book. This first edition is much scarcer than its English counterpart. The translations come from Rebecca West, Edith Sitwell, F.S. Flint, May Sinclair, Edward O'Brien, Harry Melvill, and Helen Rootham. Though principally remembered for his illustrative work, Bossch�re was an excellent poet. N� de r�f. du vendeur 70700
