The Woman Among Women [Blue Moon poem for Christmas 1931 series]
DescriptionFIRST EDITION, unsigned and unnumbered (rather than one of 100 signed copies for sale): perhaps an additional copy printed for Davies’ own use or from the unsigned, unnumbered edition published simultaneously? Folded four-page pamphlet (23 x 14.5 cm), lettered in black. Comprises: [p.1]: title page; [p.2]: b/w eroticised, breasty illustration of a Madonna (but, also, any woman, alone) suckling a baby (Christ); [p.3]: 21-line poem; [p.4]: “Blue Moon Poem for Christmas 1931”. A little creasing, gently toned, otherwise, lovely and clean. A near fine copy of this early ephemeral Rhys Davies publication. Uncommon, both in the trade and in British research libraries: JiscLHD lists three copies only (NLW/ LGC, Open University, Senate House (which holds the entire series)).
