[Rarebooks] fs: Ezra Pound, Des Imagistes

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Pound, Ezra (ed.).  DES IMAGISTES.  New York; Albert and Charles Boni: 
1914. 1st edition.  Chosen by many as the cornerstone of modern American 
poetry.  Edited by Pound, this flimsy volume was the first collection of 
Imagist poetry, and included poems by Richard Aldington & Hilda Doolittle 
which preceded their first books.  There are also poems by Pound, Joyce, 
Williams, Hueffer, Amy Lowell.  5"x7.5", 63 pages.  In something less than 
prime condition; orange paper covers badly worn and chipped, trimmed at the 
rear so that the outer 1.5" is gone; the spine partially perished and what 
is there held on by two pieces of white cloth tape.  Internally there is 
some chipping to the preliminaries fore and aft, and the bottom outer 
corner of pages 51-63 are creased and some are also chipped (lower corner 
of 63 is gone without any text loss).  Not a great copy, but an important 
title and priced to reflect the condition. $200.00
