About this Item

4to. Pp. 128. Bound in three-quarter vellum over decorated boards. Mostly unopened. Light wear to edges. Of an edition limited to 200 copies, this is hand-numbered copy 26. One of 200 large paper copies "specially bound for friends of the editors and publishers." Includes "Four Poems" by Dreiser, and pieces by Carl Van Doren, Hunker, George Jean Nathan, H. L. Mencken, James Branch Cabell, et al. An essay by Ernest Boyd titled "Aesthete: Model 1924" caused something of a stir with the avant garde, whom he denounced for taking themselves too lightly, risking a repeat of the history of the '90s. Also, an essay by C. Grant La Farge on architecture. A handsome, presentable copy, scarce in the vellum limited edition. Half-Vellum over Patterned Boards.
