The London Aphrodite.

£150 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

'A deliberately outrageous and iconoclastic "little magazine," whose title was intended to challenge The London Mercury. Like most little magazines it was a complete failure. Only six numbers were planned, and all were published, but they ruined the press' (Cave). With contributions by Norman Douglas, Aldous Huxley, Sacheverell Sitwell, Liam O'Flaherty, among others. 6 vols in one (all published); 8vo; 5 full-page black and white plates after Norman Lindsay, Lionel Ellis, and Elioth Gruner, title illustrations by Norman Lindsay, double-page musical score to no. 5, slight age-toning, slight offsetting to endpapers; contemporary blue cloth, gilt lettering to spine, minor marks to covers, corners and spine ends bumped, slight rubbing to extremities. Ransom 22.
