Description | 45 PP. Uncut. Illustrated with many fine monochrome and [8] coloured ills. by Pamela Bianco. Original [frayed] Publishers boards, spine clumsily renewed, contends very fresh! A note at the opening states that this book is a result of her first exhibition at the Leicester Galleries, in 1919, when she was thirteen. Walter de la Mare, a visitor to the show, was moved by her exquisite drawings to write the poems that accompany them in this volume. National Book League; Walter de la Mare: A Checklist, A36 mentions that there are at least five variants to this edition, due to binding errors, causing misplacement of poems and drawings, but it gives no collations. A reasonable copy of Bianco's debut. |
