The life and strange surprizing adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York Mariner. Limited edition, number 355 of 500 unsigned copies, from a total edition of 332, printed on T. H. Saunders mould-made paper.Kauffer was born in the United States but settled in England in 1914. He was a member of both Wyndham Lewis's Group X and the Cumberland Market Group. An accomplished painter, Kauffer's real genius was in advertising art; he produced seminal posters for the London Transport Board and for the Great Western Railway, as well as book jackets and illustrations. "Kauffer's sprightly, jazzy, designs were part of the social fabric of progressive, forward-looking Britain in his time" (ODNB).
