Poems by occasional Uranian Theodore Wratislaw, a contributor to Beardsley's The Yellow Book and The Savoy. Upon the poet's death in 1933, The Times wrote, 'the beautiful voice that lent added grace to his poems is silent as the night'. Ten copies were also issued on Japanese vellum. First edition, one of 250 copies on paper; small 8vo (175 x 105 mm.); some foxing; publisher's cream cloth lettered in gilt, partly uncut, a little minor marking bumping, but overall very good.
