Frederic Prokosch's copy
SPENDER, Stephen.
At Night.
Cambridge, printed at the Cambridge University Press for Frederic Prokosch, Christmas 1935.
According to Barker the imprint is genuine with regard to date and place, identified as being from Group III (printed in Cambridge). In 1935, Prokosch went to Cambridge University as a research student at Fitzwilliam House, and discovered that the Cambridge University Press was prepared to undertake private commissions, this being one of them. Others include his own Andromeda and The Red Sea, two books for W.H. Auden, and one for T.S. Eliot.
At Night was first printed in the London Mercury in May 1935, and not subsequently reprinted.
First edition, sole printing, Prokosch's own copy with his signed bookplate, number x of 2 copies on red Florentine, from a total edition of 22, signed & numbered on the colophon; single quire (16.3 x 10.3 cm); original hand-coloured drawing by Frederic Prokosch, signed in pencil and mounted as frontispiece; original silver foil wrappers (ANW 238), brick-red title label to upper cover, spare title label tipped in at rear, black thread, with Prokosch's manuscript 'Bibliographical Note' on blue paper; a fine copy, preserved in black folding case and quarter morocco slipcase.
