Umbra Ezra Pound

128pp.; 19.7 x 14.3 cm. Grey paper covered boards backed in canvas lettered in blue to front and spine. Grey-blue dust-jacket printed in black. Published London: Elkin Mathews, 1920 All that he now wishes to keep in circulation from Personae, Exultations, Ripostes, etc. With translations from Guido Cavalcanti and Arnaut Daniel and poems by the late T. E. HULME First edition, one of 1000 copies for trade. With the scarce and beautiful dust-jacket, unfortunately missing its spine, only the title part remaining and laid-in; small chips, tears and a little loss to the front-cover; back-cover complete with good colour radially fading; flaps complete with even better colour showing the original duck-egg blue. Some browning to end-papers. A small piece of Japanese newspaper laid in on pp.10-11, marked in pen, 24.2.21 / E. Pound, leaving heavy offsetting onto these pages. Overall a very nice copy still brilliant with some of the dust-jacket.
