1935241728New York: Limited Editions Club 1935. Signed Limited Edition. Publisher's brown cloth decorated in gilt top edge speckled in glassine jacket housed in publisher's plain pale yellow slipcase spine titled in brown. Fine in toned and lightly chipped original glassine jacket in near fine publisher's slipcase. Illustrated by Henri Matisse in six etchings with accompanying preliminary sketches on blue and yellow transparent overlays. i-iii-xv 3 363 3pp. 12" x 9.5" NOT EVERY PICTURE TELLS THE STORY <br /> <br /> In October 1929 the stock market crashed and the twenty-nine year old George Macy 1900-1956 introduced the first book in his publishing venture The Limited Editions Club. Subscribers paid an affordable monthly price for editions de luxe of literary classics illustrated and signed by notable artists often designed by Macy in a limitation of 1500 copies.<br /> <br /> At the time the idea was groundbreaking and surprisingly well-received and Macy displayed an unflagging all-American spirit of purpose driven by risk-taking that would keep his publishing passion afloat through the Depression and onward. As its centenary approaches it appears that LECs have also survived the quirks and whims of book collectors thanks to Macy's unbridled instinct for matching artists with texts. Take for example the strangest marriage of them all Henri Matisse meets James Joyce's Ulysses the most valuable blunder in LEC history. An indignant Joyce finding out that Matisse had never read the book dropped out of the project at the eleventh hour signing only 250 copies sparking endless gossip and criticism and making it the most desirable of any of the LECs. Our copy may not have Joyce's imprimatur but it is otherwise complete and in spectacular condition making it a special offering from our Spring acquisitions.<br /> <br /> Limited to the standard 1500 signed and numbered copies of which this is number 364 signed by Matisse in pencil on the limitation page--preserved here in incredibly scarce original glassine. <br /> <br /> Slocum 22.

Nice copy of the edition known as the 1st English edition but technically second printing published under the aegis of the Egoist Press from the plates of the first edition printed in Paris by Shakespeare & Company in February 1922. This edition was published om October 1922. Misleadingly referred to as the "first English" or "first U.K. edition" because it was intended to be sold in England rather than Paris; however the first edition to be physically printed in England wasn't until that of the Bodley Head in 1936. Paper wrappers slightly worn and chipped split at hinges small stain to lower left corner of back wrapper; internally clean. Very good with the highly desirable 7pp. errata laid in. unknown
