THE BRANCH OF HAWTHORN TREE...COLOUR DESIGNS BY PICART LE DOUX
1927 · London
by Gibbon, Monk
London: The Grayhound Press, 1927. Printed wrappers. Quarto. Covers a bit grubby, three-inch split along the spine with a half-inch loss of paper from the bottom edge, short tear to lower cover near head of spine, but internally very nice, with the prospectus laid in. First edition of the Irish poet's third book, one of 460 numbered copies, printed in France on Arches. The Le Doux illustrations are accompanied by a disclaimer emphasizing their tenuous relation with the text. (Inventory #: WRCLIT30971)
