A generally Very Good copy of this early, original issue.** This issue, published in March 1928, marks the final installment of the original monthly run of transition. The issue celebrated the magazine's first anniversary with critical essays, surrealist texts, and serialized excerpts, including a further installment of James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake (here called "Work in Progress"). Photo reproductions of works by Andre Masson, Man Ray, Giorgio de Chirico, and Francis Picabia are included. An Index to Volume I, Issues 1-12, is at the back. The March 1928 editorial famously challenged the literary status quo in North America and signalled the magazine's pivot away from a purely European expatriate focus toward an exploration of American culture.** Edited and published in Paris; the principal sales agency was Shakespeare and Co. in Paris. Circulation was upward of 1000 copies.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight. AbeBooks shipping quotes are ESTIMATES only.
