Samuel Beckett first editions

High quality half tone image of Beckett mounted on tan card and signed on the mount; in fine condition.

First trade edition, first printing (only preceded by the private edition of just 35 numbered copies); small 8vo; somewhat browned internally as always with the papier courant issue; original wrappers printed in blue and black, in the very early, if not original glassine, very light vertical crease to backstip but an absolutely stunning copy and rare thus; contained in a custom-made, blue cloth drop-down box.

First edition, first impression, one of 100 copies on hand-made paper signed by Beckett; intriguing doodle in ink to the title page of what I feel must be Pim and Pim [sic] the creatures of this remarkable book; original full tan morocco, t.e.g., unopened; a beautiful copy in the very slightly marked slipcase.

Vintage monochrome print from the original negative, with the Brassai studio stamp to the verso, inscribed by the photographer on the verso; a little rubbing at the very edges and signs of very light creasing, annotations and some light tape support to the verso, otherwise a sharp, fresh, glossy example; 295 x 235 mm, framed and glazed 470 x 395 mm.
