About this Item
Typed Contract Signed. Quarto. Three typed onionskin leaves bradbound into card backing. One change in manuscript, initialed twice by Lewis, and Signed by Lewis at the close. Basic contract information neatly inked on the blank verso of the third leaf, old horizontal fold and a tiny edge split on the card backing, a couple of tiny ink stains, very good or better. The contract, dated April 30, 1931, between Wyndham Lewis and Eveleigh Nash and Grayson for the first trade edition of *The Apes of God* (published in a Signed edition of 750 copies by The Arthur Press the year prior). Clause 11 also gives the publishers first refusal on Lewis' subsequent novel, then provisionally titled *The Great Bunk Blank*. The contract for Lewis's satire of London's literary and art scene in the time after the first world war, considered by some to be his finest book. Seller Inventory # 539823
