1920WRCLIT61438New York: Printed and Published by the Artist 1920. Quarto. Original cloth tape backed boards with etched vignette. Separation between front free endsheet and second endsheet due to the weight of the boards some creasing to spine but a very good copy internally fine. Rear panel of dust jacket present. First edition thus and one of Wall's least common and most desirable productions consisting of twenty-two original etchings printed from zinc plates in various hues with each of the plates signed by the artist in the margin accompanied by the original etched preliminaries title index and colophon. Wall had originally intended the edition to consist of fifty copies but the zinc plates did not hold up sufficiently for that many impressions and he reduced the edition to twenty-six copies so corrected on the colophon in ink and signed by him. Two of the original etched zinc plates are inlaid into the inside of the boards in this case those for two of the best of the images: "Washington Square Arch" and "A Studio." A typed transcript of some comments Wall made in 1937 about the edition is laid in along with a 1948 cover letter from Dawson's Book Shop. Weber does not note the truncation of the edition gives a variant plate count - perhaps including some of the etched prelims in his count as this copy collates complete according to the index plus the two self- portraits - and notes "many copies have a cancelled plate embedded in the cover." As noted above this copy #22 has two of the original zinc plates and unlike Father Weber's copy has the etching on the upper board imprinted in the board itself rather than on a separate label. The descriptive text leaf describes this as the "third state" of the project no doubt referring to the 1918 TEN ETCHINGS OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. WEBER p.31. Printed and Published by the Artist hardcover books
1930137209New York: Self-Published 1930. Limited to 26 copies. Hardbound. Internally VG covers are weakly attached and spine cloth getting weaker due to weight of covers with embedded zinc etching plates one in each. Paper-covered thick cardboard covers with a thin and deteriorating cloth spine. Front cover upper right has an etching which represents the title of the book. No printing along spine. Four preliminary sheets each an etching followed by 22 signed etchings and finishing up with an unsigned etching as the endsheet. The Limitation page etched has written in ink that this is copy 25 of a total of 26. A laid-in typed sheet dated Lime Rock Ct. in 1937 states that the original intent was to print 50 copies of this the third state of the book. However it goes on to say the zinc plates began to deteriorate and the edition was halted at 26. Each inside cover has a plate embedded into it. The front cover has an architectural scene and the rear cover has a dancing scene. All 22 of the artist image etchings is signed. Weber p. 31: "An interesting pictorial presentation of 'the Montmartre of America' an area in Manhattan long frequented by authors artists and students." The limitation leaf describes Greenwich Village thus: "A hodge-podge of tumble-down tenements rickety architectural relics with a great deal of modernity just minced together. Mushroom tea taverns & dancing dens have found lodgement in the attics & cellars." One of the most charming and spirited of Wall's productions. Self-Published hardcover books
