JOYCE, James. ULYSSES. New York: Limited Editions Club, 1935. First 
Illustrated Edition. Full brown buckram with a gold embossed design on 
the front cover and repeated on the spine. Large square octavo, 9" x 
11-1/2", with 420 pages. Introduction by Stuart Gilbert and 
illustrations by Henri Matisse including twenty reproductions of 
drawings and SIX ORIGINAL ETCHINGS printed by hand, being the earliest 
and one of the few instances by Matisse to represent physical agony and 
violence. The lithographic reproductions of preliminary drawings printed 
on blue and yellow paper provide an interesting glimpse into Matisse's 
artistic process. Copy #1045924 of 1500 SIGNED in pencil by the artist. 
In addition this is one of about only 250 copies SIGNED in ink by the 
author as well. Uncommon Monthly Letter, which discusses this 
publication and addresses the reason for the small number of copies 
signed by the author, laid in. Minor browning to the gutters, contents 
clean. Spine gilt dull but quite bright on the front cover, minor 
rubbing to extremities. Near Fine in a complete but broken slipcase.
