Item description from seller

Dark green wrappers, printed paper label. Edition limited to 115 numbered copies, this copy "one of twenty-five additional copies printed for the use of Donald Weeks". The first article, "Artists' Models of Modern Babylon", signed "Amateur", appeared in The Bohemian, December 1893; the second, "A New Local Industry", was printed in the Aberdeen Standard, 9 December 1893. In the latter, Rolfe proposes the establishment of a register, as in other European "Art Centres" - "with some description appended to each name of the best features of the model. e.g. - Enrico, age 3, child's figure, fair, c/o Margherita Pizzicanella, 9 Via Due Maceli. Yvette Guilbert, age 23, head, golden hair, hands, 75 Rue Macmahon. Toto Menichini, age 15, figure or costume, curly hair, 15 Piazza di Spagna. John O'Donovan, age 32, figure or costume, priest's face, 44 Little Gum Street." Halliwell A80b.
