About This Item
London: Clover Hill Editions, 1977.. Limited edition, no. 132 of 250 copies from a total edition of 337, folio, (x), 30, (6) pp. 10 wood engravings. Cloth backed marbled boards, d.w., spine slightly sunned. The engravings were originally made for a Golden Cockerel Press edition in 1927, but their reproduction was a disappointment to Jones. Towards the end of his life he agreed for this edition to be made from the original blocks, and although only 8 were found at the time the other two came to light after his death, just as printing was about to begin.
