Benito Cereno.

£75 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Number 1600 of 1650 numbered copies. Printed at the Curwen Press with the illustrations hand-coloured through stencils. McKnight Kauffer employed this medium for the special copies of the Nonesuch “Anatomy of Melancholy”, but the above represents his first extended use. Spine faded (fading on to the top edge of the upper cover), otherwise an excellent copy.

• Year: 1926
