A beautiful piece of Dutch book production, with Lucia's characteristic illustrations. Prints a famous section of Finnegans Wake (the known as Work In Progress). There a number of issues of this publication, the present example being from the preferred Faber batch thus representing the true UK first edition.
First edition, first printing, regular issue, limited to 1000 numbered copies printed on Old Antique Dutch paper (there were also 29 casebound copies, each signed by the author); large 8vo; initial letter, tail-piece and cover designed by the author's daughter Lucia; publisher's cream wrappers, titles to spine in blue decoration and titles to front wrapper in blue, black and silver, with the original silvered card slipcase titles in silver on a pink ground. Spine a little faded but a lovely copy in the slightly defective slipcase.
Slocum and Cahoon A43.
