Vol. 2, No. 10 - February 1945 - the tenth issue in the original series of the historic Poetry magazine, designed and edited by Tambimuttu. First impression of the true first edition, and the only issue of the magazine issued in hardcover, actually published in February 1945, although the book states 'Published in December 1944' - publication was delayed due to operating under wartime conditions. With an eight page introductory piece by the editor Tambimuttu, and dedicated to the memory of the poet Keith Douglas, who was killed in action during the invasion of Normandy in the summer of 1944. The book contains three stunning full-page colour lithographs by Gerald Wilde, one of which is a double-page centre-fold, to accompany T. S. Eliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night".

The gilt is still nice and bright. The boards are clean - just slightly marked with age and handling. Edges of boards very slightly rubbed. Corners slightly creased. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. Internally near fine with no inscriptions - just a small pencil price at the top of the front free endpaper and a bookseller's label to the bottom of the front pastedown.
