Author: BISHOP, Elizabeth (Editor-in-Chief)
Title: The 1934 Vassarion
Description: Poughkeepsie, Senior Class/Vassar College, [1934]. First Edition. Hardcover. Quarto (7-3/4" x 10-3/4") bound in velvet-covered boards. Elizabeth Bishop's senior yearbook at Vassar, of which she was the editor-in-chief. This can certainly be considered, as anyone who has ever been in charge of a yearbook may tell you, Bishop's first book, predating NORTH & SOUTH by 12 years. Profusely illustrated, with two photographs of Bishop, her senior photograph and a group shot of the yearbook staff. Underclassman Muriel Rukeyser has a poem here also. A scarce Bishop item, and one of the best copies of the several we have handled over the course of 35 years. Minor foxing to first and last few pages, no writing within. The velvet is only lightly marked. A Fine, fresh copy .
