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". In addition, there are eight-pages of drawings by Mervyn Peake which were used to illustrate "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", which was published the year before by Chatto & Windus (including the plates suppressed and not used by Chatto). There is also a full-page handwritten poem by Augustus John. ***Very good in light beige cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine (There is also a variant issue of the book in blue cloth). 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. Pages clean, with just some very light foxing to the front endpaper and pastedown. Illustrations bright and clean. The lithographs are printed on high grade cartridge paper, printed from the original stones by the Baynard Press, whereas the text of the magazine is on thin wartime economy paper. No creases or tears. No dustwrapper. ***258mm x 192mm. x prelim-pages plus 264 pages. ***Contents: Poems, Illustrations, Prose, Art, Radio, Music, Points of View, Correspondence.
