Softcover. Condición: Very Good. 22pp.; 22.7 x 13.2 cm. Original blue-grey three-quarter boards lettered in gold up a white parchment spine. Blue paper label printed in black to front.Dunning's second book, published many years after his first, Hyllus (1910). An opium addict from Detroit who lived in Paris from 1905, Dunning (18…78-1930) received recognition for his work when "The Four Winds" appeared in Harriet Monroe's Poetry at Ezra Pound's instigation, but working with Victorian verse-form received little praise from a milieu trained 15 years on vers libre.The first book from Edward Titus's Black Manikin Press, no. 418 of 500 copies. Meant to be signed by both poet and artist, this copy as most is signed only by Simon beneath the first plate. Fading and a little spotting to boards, light bump to top corner, otherwise a very nice copy internally fine.

His other works include 'Hyllus', a play, and two poetry collections, one privately published.A limited edition.With three tipped-in illustrations by Howard Simon.This limited edition was meant to be signed by both author and artist, however, some were signed by both and many by just one of the two.

Externally generally smart, with a little wear to the spine and edges. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are often unopened, and bright and clean. Very Good Indeed.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The second of only three volumes of poetry to be published by Dunning during his lifetime and since. A Detroit native, Dunning (1878-1930) moved to Paris in 1905 where he dedicated his time to only a small group of poems, composed in the style of the late Victorian era, publishing hi…s first collection of poems Hyllus: A Drama in 1910 (London: John Lane, The Bodley Head). Around 1924 Ezra Pound 'discovered' Dunning, a recluse and an addict, and ensured his publishing in the journals of the day; I have read even that EP supplied Dunning with drugs, which, considering Pound's mansarde et potage, one might believe. After Dunning received the Helen Haire Nevinson Prize from Poetry, A Magazine of Verse in 1925 the literati of the Left Bank began to heatedly debate Dunning's poetry. The push for vers libre, as had been happening for 20 years, had left the public finally numb to any vers à la Victorien; Dunning's advance of a style yet older struggled to be received, though it reads with a precision worthy of the Ancient Mariner. This book was the inaugural volume of The Black Manikin Press, one of the key expatriate presses of Paris in the 1920's later to print Anaïs Nin, D. H. Lawrence, Djuna Barnes, Henry Miller and more. No. 80 of 500 copies all printed on Holland, the first fifty not for sale, with three illustrations by Howard Simon. Signed by Dunning on the limitation page and by Simon under the frontispiece. Spine mottled with a small break at top (nothing lost); light fading to the edge of the boards; endpapers browned spilling over to adjacent blanks where cut short; stock otherwise fine throughout. No bibliography has been composed for Dunning. Signed by Author(s).

Titus at his legendary Rue Delambre press, establishing the aesthetic blueprint for his Paris expatriate circle. This edition perfectly merges the refined letterpress typography of Ti…tus with Howard Simon's delicate modernist woodcut illustrations. It stands as the essential foundational document for one of the most significant fine press imprints of the 1920s American expatriate movement. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Features three elegant, tipped-in woodcut illustrations by Howard Simon, with the first plate signed by the artist in the matrix. +++ Binding: Original quarter white parchment spine with gilt titles over blue-grey paper-covered boards, boasting a sharp blue paste-on paper label to the upper cover. +++ Content: Collects Dunning's introspective, refined modernist verse, representing his key collaboration within Ezra Pound's Paris circle. +++ Associated Names: Edward W.

Internally, the text block is clean and free of markings, displaying light, even age-toning, and remaining completely unopened after the preliminary leaves. The exterior shows moderate shelf handling, characterized by even toning and faint hand-soiling to the parchment spine, light rubbing to the extremities, and typical endpaper offsetting to the corners. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Edward W. Titus was an American expatriate bookseller, critic, and publisher whose Rue Delambre shop operated as a vital node of literary modernism, neighboring Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company. By founding the Black Manikin Press, Titus merged classical fine-press craftsmanship with modern aesthetic experimentation, creating a platform that championed controversial and innovative writers who were excluded from mainstream commercial streams. Rococo matters precisely because it is the opening salvo of this publishing crusade. Before Titus took on the financial and legal risks of printing Lady Chatterley's Lover or funding the early booklets of Anaïs Nin, he utilized Dunning's verse and Simon's engravings to test the limits of his handset typography and establish his reputation among international collectors. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Expatriate Fine Press: Functions as the inaugural publication of Titus's Sign of the Black Manikin Press, setting the high typographic standard that would later produce early milestones for Anaïs Nin, D.H. Lawrence, and Henry Miller. +++ Modernist Illustration: Showcases early, masterful Paris-period woodcuts by Howard Simon, whose printmaking captured the intricate, delicate imagery of the lost generation poets. +++ Poetic Lineage: Documents Ralph Cheever Dunning's place as a central, tragic figure in the expatriate avant-garde, whose traditional yet deeply introspective verse was heavily championed by Ezra Pound in the transatlantic review. SUBJECTS: Black Manikin Press, Edward W. Titus, Paris Expatriate Printing, Howard Simon, Modernist Illustration, Modernist Poetry, Fine Press, Rue Delambre. GENRES: Limited Edition, Private Press, Illustrated Book. Illustrations by Howard Simon (ilustrador).

Condición: Very Good. Paris, Edward W. Titus (printed by «Imprimerie Crété»), 1926 (August), cream-coloured boards lettered black to spine; grey paper pasted to boards; black titles in azure label to front board, octavo, pages: [4, of which 1 is the copyright page and 1 contains information of the print run] 22 [4, 1 of which is… the colophon]. First edition. Copy 53 of 500 numbered copies, all of which shoud have been signed by the author and the artist, though most were signed by neither (this copy is signed by Dunning and the first plate is signed by Simon). In good condition (spine and boards worn). Published sixteen years after his pastoral drama «Hyllus» when Dunning was already forty-eight, the Victorian-style poem in «terza rima» «Rococo» is his second work and the first book printed by Edward Titus's Black Manikin Press. Dunning, who was born in Detroit and lived in Paris for most of his adult life, was close friends with Pound, who admired his work and insisted on helping him with his opium addiction, frequently asking friends to check in on him (Hemingway reportedly found him in a trance brought on by drugs on the roof of his flat one day). Paris, Edward W. Titus (stampa: «Imprimerie Crété»), 1926 (August), in ottavo, cartonato color crema con titoli in nero al dorso; piatti rivestiti in carta grigia; pecetta azzurra con titoli al piatto anteriore, pagine: [4, di cui 1 contiene i dati di stampa e l'altra le informazioni sulla tiratura] 22 [4, di cui 1 di colophon]; 3 tavole applicate su carte bianche fuori testo. Prima edizione. Esemplare 53 di 500 numerati, che dovevano essere tutti firmati dall'autore e dall'artista ma che spesso furono firmati da nessuno dei due; questa copia è firmata da Dunning e la prima tavola è firmata da Simon. In buone condizioni (segni del tempo al dorso e ai piatti). Pubblicato sedici anni dopo il suo dramma pastorale «Hyllus», quando Dunning aveva già quarantotto anni, il poema in terza rima in stile vittoriano «Rococo» è la sua seconda opera e il primo libro stampato dalla Black Manikin Press di Edward Titus. Dunning, nato a Detroit e vissuto a Parigi per gran parte della sua vita adulta, era un caro amico di Pound, che ammirava i suo versi e insisteva per aiutarlo a gestire la sua dipendenza dall'oppio, chiedendo spesso agli amici di andare a controllare se stesse bene (pare che Hemingway un giorno lo trovò in stato di trance drogata sul tetto del suo appartamento).
