Deny the Day. Illustrated by Marion Cunningham. [Presentation copy with TLS.]

Descripción

First (presumably only) edition. Purple boards; a fugitive color, and as to be expected, faded at the spine and around the margins of the boards. Couple of small breaks along front spine gutter, otherwise very good. Edition of one hundred fifty numbered copies, this copy not numbered. Presentation by the author on the front flyleaf to California sculptor and saloniste Cornelia Runyon and TLS from her to Runyon enclosed. With tipped-in illustrations by Marion Cunningham, a San Francisco artist of note. According to Internet sources, she was instrumental, through her art work, in saving the San Francisco cable cars. She died suddenly in 1948 at the age of 39 and this is very likely her only illustrated book. Elizabeth Oppen, who went by the name Libby Danysh at this time, was the older sister of the poet George Oppen. N° de ref. del artículo 1562
