Early issues of The Right Review are scarce; OCLC lists one institutional holding of various issues [British Library]. This issue includes two original woodcuts by English artist Georg Hann (1900-1979), in addition to the front cover. 'The Right Review' was issued by poet Geoffrey Wldyslaw Vaile Potocki de Montalk (1903-1997), who was born in Auckland, New Zealand; he moved to England in 1926 and settled in France in 1949. In 1932 he was "arrested after attempting to publish a manuscript of erotic translations of works by Rabelais and Verlaine, with three short bawdy verses of his own... The charge was 'obscene libel'... he was sentenced to six months in prison... Aldous Huxley... later funded the purchase of Potock's first printing press..." [per wikipedia]. Potocki de Montalk edited and published 'The Right Review' from 1936-1973; early issues were privately printed by Count Potocki de Montalk.
