About This Item
London: The Fanfrolico Press, 1928. First Fanfrolico Edition. Burlap Cloth over boards. Very Good. Pearl Binder. 4to, beige burlap stamped "XXX / cup" & with a printed paper label, No. 55 of 55 copies, Illustrated with 14 drawings by Pearl Binder with eight in three colours [using linoleum- or wood-cuts], Printed by the Westminster Press, 46 pages + [1]. Other editorial and prep for this limited edition Fanfrolico Press (established in the early 1920s in Sydney; then resumed with Jack Kirtley from 1926 through the Great Depression ca.1930 in England) by brilliant Australian expat author-poet-printer-polymath, Jack Lindsay (1900-90), the son of the famous Aussie author-&-artist Norman Lindsay (1879-1969) and brother of talented expat author and broadcaster, Philip Lindsay (1906-58). The reprinting of an obscure but amusing poem by John Skelton is one of the little known Franfrolico Presses minor works. The burlap has slightly sagged and the paper label is worn. One needs to be careful about multi-talented Jack Lindsay's attributions. Is "Pearl Binder," for instance, actually a woman artist, or has Lindsay done the work himself? Arnold (see below) was unable to track down her estate. See John Arnold, The Fanfrolico Press: Satyrs, Fauns, and Fine Books, 2009: #27, p.203f.
