Some edge wear, chipping and short closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, lamination lifting along spine side of front and back jacket, extensive use of old brown paper tape to verso jacket, corners bruised, f…olds rubbed with small loss, some slight overall a yellowing, some red splashes and grubby fingerprints to spine, not price clipped (70s), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a reasonable copy for its age. 639pp, illustrated. Brian Howard was expected to become one of the leading authors of his generation, but instead he became a secondary character in the books of others. Marie-Jaqueline Lancaster's magisterial biography makes him at last the protagonist of his own highly entertaining story. Packed with reminiscences and extracts from Howard's letters and writings, this book details the outrageous parties, stunts, and confrontations that were second nature to this ne'er-do-well. Chronicling 30 years of waste and dereliction, Lancaster captures a gay literary life, the 1920s, modernism, or the mystery of failed artistic promise. From austere libraries in Oxford to seedy hotels in Amsterdam to darkened cinemas in Tangiers, Brian Howard (1905-58), lived and died precociously and most importantly as he pleased. 'Brian Howard, Portrait of a Failure' is the next best thing to an invitation to one of his famous parties. Sadly, Howard committed suicide, after the sudden death of his lover. A scarce book. Jacket after John Banting (illustrator).

Add to basket8vo. (230 x 174 mm). [Bifolium + 10 unnumbered leaves]. Two leaves (a single bifolium) of text with four poems recto and verso by Cecily Mackworth, James Law Forsyth, J. F. Hendry and Nancy Cunard and 10 original engravings on laid paper with the watermark 'Han Made' by various artists (see below), each signed and numbered by th…e relevant artist in pencil; sheet size: 225 x 162 mm. Sheets irregularly trimmed retaining deckle edges as usual, occasional minor spots and toning to sheet edges. Loose as issued in the original publisher's red cloth-backed grey board portfolio with blue printed title label to front cover, black silk ties. Nancy Cunard's very scarce and early Surrealist portfolio, a centrepiece of English Surrealism. From the edition limited to 100 copies (it is likely that an additional 4 hors commerce copies were also issued), with each of the original prints signed and numbered by the relevant artists. Published by Nancy Cunard as 'a limited edition of new poems, etchings and engravings' to raise money for the 'Comforts Fund for Women and Children of Soviet Russia' after the invasion by the Germans, this is one of the very few British purely Surrealist publications and very similar in format and production to the two portfolios 'Solidarité' (Paris, 1938) and 'Fraternity' (London, 1939) issued in support of the Spanish Government during the Spanish Civil War. The portfolio was edited by Cunard and John Banting (it features his only etching) and includes John Piper's first published engraving. The contributing artists were John Banting ('The Spirit of Appeasement'), John Piper ('Derelict House', here untitled), Mary Wykeham ('Attack'), C. Salisbury ('Iceland' and dated '42'), Julian Trevelyan ('Soldier'), Geza Szobel ('Horse', here untitled), Dolf Rieser ('Bird', here untitled), John Buckland Wright ('Combat'), Roland Penrose ('Antique Statue', here untitled, engraved by Buckland Wright and signed by both artists) and Ithell Colquhoun ('Zodiac'). As noted above, the four poems, each untitled, are by Nancy Cunard, Cecily Mackworth, James Law Forsyth and James Findlay Hendry. [dada and Surrealism Reviewed 14:60].
