1939176715London: The Verona Press 1939 but 1947. Queer femme illustrations with a Gallic twist First edition thus number 220 of 1200 copies produced by the elite printer Hans Mardersteig of the Officina Bodoni and illustrated with queer colour lithographs by the Parisian Cubist artist Marie Laurencin. This anthology volume selects Katherine Mansfield's "best" stories from across her career and as such the contents slightly differ from her celebrated collection published under the same title in 1922. Katherine Mansfield 1888-1923 ranks among the most important short-story writers of the 20th century. Forever leaving behind her native New Zealand in 1908 she embarked on her literary career while pursuing a peripatetic bohemian life in the orbit of the Bloomsbury Group in London. Mansfield's experiences of familial estrangement and persistent ill-health heavily influenced her work which grew to four published story collections before her premature death from tuberculosis. Her husband John Middleton Murry edited a fifth collection posthumously. Virginia Woolf remembered Mansfield for having "the only writing I have ever been jealous of. Probably we had something in common which I shall never find in anyone else" p. 227. Through her stories journals and letters Mansfield still enjoys cult status "for her divination of the hatred and cruelties beneath the sweet surfaces of family life; and for her sympathy with the vulnerable the displaced and the lonely" ODNB. Though printed in 1939 the outbreak of the Second World War delayed publication until 1947. Large octavo. With 16 colour lithographs in the text. Title page printed in red and black. Publisher's note tipped in following title page. Original green and white patterned cloth spine lettered in gilt on red ground top edge yellow fore and bottom edges untrimmed. With dust jacket. Bookseller's ticket on front pastedown. Foxing to cloth edges and outer leaves; jacket spine lightly toned crease to lower rear panel a handful of nicks and closed tears issued without printed price: a very good copy in like jacket.

1905021468pre-1905. Engraving. Old dampstaining and soiling to bottom blank margin with only a very slight effect on the signature. Easily Very Good or better. Early 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" engraving from a photograph on a 7" x 10" sheet tipped to a slightly larger sheet of Helen Keller's famous teacher subject of the play and movie THE MIRACLE WORKER SIGNED in ink below the image: "Anne Mansfield Sullivan." At the age of 7 nearly blind from an illness two years before and recently having suffered the loss of her mother Sullivan was abandoned by her father in an orphanage with no formal educational facilities. Through her own will she managed to be placed in the Perkins Institute for the Blind from which she graduated as class valedictorian after regaining much of her eyesight from a series of operations. She began teaching Helen Keller when the deaf and blind child was seven and by all accounts quite undisciplined. Sullivan attended classes with Keller and tutored her through the Perkins Institute The Cambridge School for Young Ladies and Radcliffe College all along achieving a measure of success with her unusual student previously unheard of. After Keller's formal education Anne Sullivan continued to assist her by accompanying Keller on her travels and on various lecture tours. Sullivan married a young Harvard instructor John Albert Macy in 1905 and started going by the name Anne Sullivan Macy thus dating this engraving before that date. The three lived together until 1912 when the Macys separated. After Keller's death in 1968 her ashes were placed next to her beloved companions Anne Sullivan and Polly Thomson in the St. Joseph's Chapel of Washington Cathedral. <br/><br/> unknown
