[Rarebooks] FS: Ten SIGNED Lithographs by Zhenya Gay Illustrating CONFESSIONS OF AN ENGLISH OPIUM-EATER

[Charles Agvent]

DE QUINCEY, Thomas (GAY, Zhenya). CONFESSIONS OF AN ENGLISH OPIUM-EATER: 
Set of 10 SIGNED Loose Lithographs. Oxford: Limited Editions Club, 1930. 
Small folio (10-1/4" x 13-1/2") consisting of 10 loose lithographs drawn 
on the stone by Zhenya Gay, each SIGNED by the artist. laid into the 
first signature of the book which in turn is laid into a cloth-backed 
marbled board folder with a large paper label on the front cover and 
with ribbon ties. Printed on hand-made Kelmscott paper by B. H. 
Newdigate at the Shakespeare Head Press. There was a total edition of 
1520 copies illustrated with 12 lithographs and SIGNED by the artist and 
the printer on the limitation page. This is a special publication, not 
known previously by us and, having been acquired directly from the 
publisher's files, is likely unique. Each of the 10 lithographs is 
SIGNED by the artist, which was not the case with the printed book. The 
inner first signature folder consists of the title page, the limitation 
page on the verso which is SIGNED by the artist but not by the printer, 
and the half-title page with the verso blank. Also laid in is a sheet of 
paper on which is written in pencil "Supplementary Set" with 
measurements and other calculations on the verso. Fine in a Very Good 
folder. (#020025)        $1,000
