Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Hardcover. One of 137 copies of which 7 were hors commerce. The title page describes this book as a concise presentation of literature, and book arts and crafts of England, France, United States, and Italy. In their introduction the Press proprietors, Lewis and Dorothy Allen, write that their purp…ose was to present in one volume a sample of the literature and printing of these four countries by selecting four authors who were among the most noteworthy fiction writers of the past century. Each author's fiction was illustrated by a noted artist of his country and printed on paper made in that country. The typefaces were chosen to suit the text. The works selected were Joseph Conrad's "The Lagoon," illustrated by Blaire Hughes Stanton; Gustave Flaubert's work is "The Legend of Saint Julien", illustrated by Michèle Forgeois; the work from Henry James is his "The Jolly Corner," illustrated by Joseph Low; and Luigi Pirandello's, work is "The Annuity," illustrated by Paolo Carosone. This handsome and ambitious book was set in types by hand on papers printed damp on a Columbian handpress. In the original front cover binding of gray paper with a vertical brown paper strip down the front cover and a brown paper rear cover. Titling to spine. Very good plus with a spot of wear at the front of the tail of the spine and a very small spot of soil near the head of the spine. In the original acetate wrapper with several small tears at the head of the spine. Measures 10 x 14.5 inches. 155 pages. PRI/110124.

One of 130 copies. 16 wood engravings by Blair Hughes-Stanton, all printed in two colours plus one illustration in grey, green, purple, red, blue, olive, blue/green and brown. Text printed in several colours in Romanà e types on Arches paper. Folio, original handmade Italian printed paper covered boards with lettering and blocks… of all the seven colours used in the printing on the upper cover, spine lettered in green. Slight scuffing to head of spine, otherwise a very good copy. Whilst illustrating this book Hughes-Stanton was driven by the text and the emotional problems confronting the principal characters: "I feel him blocked by squares or screens, and dominated by his shadow; she is fluid, and her shape is the egg; the Beast lurks in the eye (or ego); and in the second block the line entangles him, or sometimes holds them together; but eventually they break". The seven colours used in the illustrations and to print the text were inspired by the seven sections of the book each with a different emotional theme. This shorter story by James is one of his greatest. Clifton Fadiman wrote: "For me this is the best of James's shorter fictions, combining the utmost concentration of effect with the utmost inclusiveness of meaning". With the original prospectus inserted loose.

California, The Allen Press. California, The Allen Press Very good, extremities lightly rubbed, very light soiling to boards. 'In an anthology of great stories, Clifton Fadiman wrote: 'For me this is the best of James's shorter fictions, combining the utmost concentration of effect with the utmost inclusiveness of meaning'. Because this is a psychological novel, and because we had recently perused J.H. Bustanoby's Psychology of Color, we decided to print each o the seven chapters in a color eflecting the emotional theme o that section. In a way it is a tour de force, but we thought it would be an interesting variation in book design; and a private press is in a position to experiment' (The Allen Press Bibliography, Lewis and Dorothy Allen).
