Paris: Encyclopedie Essentielle, Robert Delpire Editeur, (1958). First edition, preceding the American edition. "The Delpire first edition Les Américains (1958) is more like a sociological study, wherein Frank's photographs appear as illustrations of the probing texts printed on facing pages, gathered by Alain Bosquet from dozens of illustrious writers. . . . When Barney Rosset at Grove Press agreed to publish The Americans in the U.S., Frank pulled out all the text, leaving only blank pages with captions facing the images, mirroring the layout of Evans's American Photographs. . . . The French edition is sociology, the American edition is poetry." - David Levi Strauss, as quoted by Roth, The Book of 101 Books, p. 150. Very fine copy, with none of the fading or wear endemic to this book. Oblong 8vo, original laminated boards after a design by Saul Steinberg.

Description:
(N. Y.: Henry Holt and Company, no date but 1916. First separate edition of this poem, issued as "Christmas Greetings from Henry Holt and Company". At the end of the poem, a note reads: "From "Mountain Interval" by Robert Frost, with his permission." Contrary to all bibliographical sources, this publication, and not the 1929 publication, is the true first separate edition of this poem. Crane cites the 1929 privately printed edition by the Spiral Press as the first separate edition, but the present publication was undoubtedly published at or near the time Mountain Interval was published in 1916 and by the same publisher. We find no record of this publication in either Crane, Clymer & Green, or Lowenherz. Lightly soiled, but a very good copy. 8vo, single sheet folded to form a form-sided leaflet. Lightly soiled, but a very good copy.
