Manchester: The Cloister Press Ltd. 1943.<br /> <P> An exceedingly rare Epstein exhibition catalogue signed by the artist; WorldCat records only the BL copy. As explained on the verso of the title-page 50 percent of sales from this exhibition were to be given to the Merchant Navy Comforts Service. Epstein writes a brief introduction about the works he has selected: "The works in this collection which date from so early as the 'Marcelle' 1920 to the Chinese Girl 'Chia Pi' Precious Jewel 1942 cover a period long enough to embody at any rate a fairly comprehensive development. The works are all in bronze and reflect immediate reactions to things persons seen and treated realistically and might seem to leave out those larger imaginative carvings and bronzes such as 'Genesis' 'Jacob and the Angel' the 'Ecce Homo' which directly embody abstruse philosophical or humanistic and religious themes. But to my mind and method of treatment the study however small must reflect not only the sculptor's vision but his most profound inner feeling before embodied form whatever the shape. I would destroy the legend of the 'dual personality'."<br /> <P> This volume lists 46 paintings sculptures watercolors and drawings all priced.
