Item description from seller

First edition. 8vo. A desirable issue (Number 7), with four original woodcut prints, including two by English artist Georg Hann (1900-1979) and two by surrealist artist Toni del Renzio [1915-2007], a Russian-born artist, who became an important member of the Surrealist movement in the United Kingdom. In the June, 1939 issue of The Right Review, Count Potocki contributes a three-page tribute to artist Georg Hann, in which Potocki discusses the publication of the woodcut prints in this publication. He states: "ever since our first number, published in Octobr 1936, when we printed on our old galley-press, a simple but excellent 'Negro Girl,' done like most of his woodcuts with lino-cut tools upon plywood. it is a disaster that so many of his blocks have been destroyed, after a few bad pulls on cheap paper. I do not think that he realizes how great his woodcuts are. he undertook them only in the first place to brighten up The Right Review.". The Right Review was issued by poet Geoffrey Wldyslaw Vaile Potocki de Montalk (1903-1997), who was born in Auckland, New Zealand; he moved to England in 1926 and settled in France in 1949. In 1932 he was "arrested after attempting to publish a manuscript of erotic translations of works by Rabelais and Verlaine, with three short bawdy verses of his own. The charge was 'obscene libel'. he was sentenced to six months in prison. Aldous Huxley. later funded the purchase of Potock's first printing press." [per wikipedia]. Potocki de Montalk edited and published 'The Right Review' from 1936-1973; early issues were privately printed by Count Potocki de Montalk. Covers are lightly dust soiled, with light offset tanning on a few pages of text (from the woodcut prints), else a near fine copy.…
