Item description from seller

Vol. 2, No. 10 - February 1945 - the tenth issue in the original series of the historic Poetry magazine, designed and edited by Tambimuttu. First impression of the true first edition, and the only issue of the magazine issued in hardcover, actually published in February 1945, although the book states 'Published in December 1944' - publication was delayed due to operating under wartime conditions. With an eight page introductory piece by the editor Tambimuttu, and dedicated to the memory of the poet Keith Douglas, who was killed in action during the invasion of Normandy in the summer of 1944. The book contains three stunning full-page colour lithographs by Gerald Wilde, one of which is a double-page centre-fold, to accompany T. S. Eliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night". ***Near fine in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine (There is also a rarer variant issue of the book in light beige cloth). The gilt is still nice and bright. The boards are very clean - just slightly marked with age and handling. Edges of boards very slightly rubbed, with some browning to the top and bottom margins of the boards. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Unobtrusive very light sporadic foxing to front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns. Some light production creasing to a couple of pages. Interior pages clean. Illustrations bright and clean. The lithographs are printed on high grade cartridge paper, printed from the original stones by the Baynard Press. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 15s. net. The fragile dustwrapper is complete, which is very unusual for this book - the dustwrapper normally has some loss. The edges of the dustwrapper are rubbed and creased, and there is a 1.5 cm closed tear to the top edge of the front panel, and a couple of closed tears and associated creasing to the top edge of the back panel. Head and tail of spine of dustwrapper also slightly creased and rubbed. Back panel of dustwrapper slightly discoloured and rubbed (being a white background). Illustrated front panel of dustwrapper clean and bright. ***258mm x 192mm. x prelim-pages plus 264 pages. ***Contents: Poems, Illustrations, Prose, Art, Radio, Music, Points of View, Correspondence. Poems by various poets including Michael Hamburger, Henry Miller, Alan Ross, Stevie Smith, R.S. Thomas etc. Illustrations: three full-page colour lithographs including a two-page centrefold of T. S. Eliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" by Gerald Wilde, and eight full-page drawings for "The Ancient Mariner" by Mervyn Peake. Also a full-page reproduction of a handwritten poem: "The Antiquary, 1944" by Augustus John. ***'There has been no other periodical since the Great War that has gathered so many poets into its pages.' - Francis Scarfe in 'Auden & After' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, published during the Second World War in February 1945, although the book states December 1944. Complete in its original thin wartime colour illustrated dustwrapper - the three full-page colour lithographs (one double-page) by Gerald Wilde are clean and bright and in very fine condition, and with the eight-pages of drawings by Mervyn Peake, and a full-page handwritten poem by Augustus John. Extremely scarce to find complete in the original dustwrapper. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, the publications of Poetry London, collectors of the illustrations of Mervyn Peake, and of the artwork of Gerald Wilde. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
