About This Item
Paris [& New York]: Black Sun Press, 1929- 1930.. Three items. Octavo and two folded oblong folios.

An example of the original US prospectus for the Press's lavish edition of Dowson's translation, illustrated by Alastair. This prospectus is for those distributed by Harry F. Marks, in NY. The dust jackets are for those sets issued in cloth, rather than examples of overage of the wrappers for the wrapperbound issue. MINKOFF A31.
