Collectors' Monograph No. 1 [& No.3 - "The Abyss"]
[8] and 8pp., 4to, original beige decorated wraps, rusty around staples, mainly good condition. Monograph No. 1 contains Beardsleyesque black and white drawing of puppeteer for title and front cover by "Allan Odle", poem "Villanelle of Montparnasse" by "Adolphe Roberts" [perhaps the Walter Adolphe Roberts, active in Jamaica from 1906] with a Beardsleyesque border, an anecdote entitled "A Gypsy-Freemason", concluded by an image imitating a woodcut, concluding with a reproduction of an "old Print" "Football in Crowe Street". Monograph No.3 containsanother image by "Allan Odle" [elsewhere spelt "Alan"] on title and front cover, just the first instalment of a story entitled "The Abyss" by L. Andreyeff, "Translated from the Russian by S.W. Pring", "to be continued." [Presumably this was the story later published by the Golden Cockerel Press in 1929]. No other copies found except at the National Library of Ireland which also lacks No.2. Note: I have five copies of No. 1 in stock, and four of No. 3. Price is for ONE set of Nos. 1 & 3.
