Description: Dornach, Switzerland: 1939. 1939. Dornach, Switzerland: 1939. 1939. Very good. - Octavo, self-wraps. A sheet of cream stock, 9-1/4 inches high by 13 inches wide, has been folded to form 4 sides. There is a tiny tear to the top & to the bottom of the fold. The edges of the outer sides are slightly darkened & foxed & there is some very light staining to the 4th side. Illustrated with a reproduction of Marion MacKaye's bookplate, designed by Gordon Craig, on the title page & with a photographic illustration of a statue on each of the following sides. Very good.

The statues are titled "Vercingetorix", "L'Amour et la Folie" and "La Feuille et L'Ouragan" and in the poems printed on the second, third and fourth sides MacKaye recalls looking at them with his late wife.

Rare. Very good .
