About this Item
Description:
202p., introduction, Nubanusit Tea Barn fiche on paste-down, gift inscription dated 1923 on front free endpaper, first edition in very rubbed, edgeworn cloth-backed boards with paper title labels on spine and front cover. Spine titling is still legible, just barely, rear hinge is badly cracked. A lousy copy, but the presswork is beautiful and text is quite clean. Early book appearances by Heyward and Allen and a surprising number of writers who made names for themselves. Heyward's "Porgy" was published a year later. The MacDowell Colony is the oldest extant artists' colony in the USA. The Tea Barn label was a local eatery where the artists and poets from the Colony gathered. Seller Inventory # 147196
