Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. The First UK printing published by William Heinemann, Ltd. in 1926. Woodcut title and four additional header illustrations (not included in the trade edition) by George Plank. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Top edge gilt, remainder untrimmed. Original vellum-backe…d boards, in the original gilt titled slip-case (a little rubbed and toned to the edges and a little age related markings and edge-wear). Slim 4to ; Limited edition, number '7' of 125 special copies on Japon and signed by both the author and artist to the limitation page. Just a hint of toning to the vellum boards and spine. Front free endpaper with a pencil inscription to John Wilson of Bumpus : 'To dear kind Mr. Wilson with gratitude and kindest regards, from the author's mother Victoria Sackville, Nov. 1926'. Together with a loosely laid in autographed letter by Vita Sackville-West to the same recipient John Wilson (of Bumpus), dated 'Nov. 1st 1944' ; 2 pages on Sissinghurst Castle, Kent letter-headed paper : 'Dear Mr. Wilson, I was nicely brought up to pay my bills promptly! I wonder if you have got any books on forestry or aforestation? My younger son thinks of going in for this after the war, and I should like to send him something to read about it; the more technical the better. I know he has already got a book called 'Forestry for Woodmen,' but if you have anything else in stock I should be most grateful if you could tell me. Also, is it possible to obtain "A Garden of Herbs," by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde? and if so, could you send a copy to Miss W. Macmillan Q. A. I. M. N. S. No. 2 British General Hospital C.M.F. and the bill to me or, failing this, is there any other book on herbs and herb-growing? I fancy there was one by a Miss Amherst, called "My Herb Garden" or something like that. There is, of course, "A Modern Herbal" by M. Grieve, but that is too big. Two heavy volumes - which would be merely a white elephant to an army nurse in Italy. Yours very sincerely V. Sackville-West'. J. G. Wilson's pencilled name to the front paste-down. James G. Wilson was Chairman at Bumpus Bookshop and 'one of the kingpins of the thriving literary life of London during the 1930's. .He ruled supreme from his Marylebone Lane Bookshop' (Times 3rd July 1981). The artist George Plank (1883-1965) was an American illustrator, known for his long association with Vogue magazine, and employed by Vita's mother, Lady Sackville, as an interior designer. This poem, dedicated to Sackville-West's lover Dorothy Wellesley (1889-1956), was "an ambitious attempt to write a modern version of Virgil's Georgics by celebrating the annual round of the Kentish farming year" (ODNB). There would be six print runs in the first three years of its publication aided in part by Vita Sackville-West winning the 'Hawthornden Prize for Literature' in 1927 for this title. (Cross & Ravenscroft-Hulme A.13(b)). A very sharp association copy of an increasingly elusive title. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Planck, George (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. A lovely new edition of Vita Sackville-West's beloved pastoral poem, with a signed letter from the author loosely inserted. Letter on Sissinghurst letterhead loosely inserted, '27th January 1944, Dear Mrs.Dunn, Very many thanks for your letter. I quite agree with you…that a very interesting book could be written on the subject you suggest, but I feel that it would need enormous research into the activities which have actually been carried out already by women and that I therefore should not be qualified to write it. It would be much more the subject for somebody like Mrs.Strachey who wrote a history of the women's movement called "The Cause". I am afraid that Mrs. Strachey has recently died. Still there must be other women who have specialised in the subject. I see you say that you were on the Letitia going to Greece and wish so much that you had introduced yourself then. How often I think of that lovely journey and wish it could be repeated. Yours Sincerely, V. Sackville-West'.In the original unclipped dustwrapper.Vita Sackville-West's popular pastoral poem, a book length narrative poem celebrating the rural landscape of the area in which Vita lived.Sackville-West, well known today for her friendship and relationship with fellow author, Virginia Woolf. Sackville-West provided the inspiration for Woolf's beloved novel 'Orlando'. Sackville-West was also a noted garden designer at her house Sissinghurst, the garden of which is still celebrated today.Illustrated with woodcuts by George Plank.A reprint of this work.

First edition, first printing. Printed by the Curwen Press, Plaistow, in an edition of 120 copies. Original paper-covered boards lettered, ruled and decorated in black and blue. Issued without dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. The boards, slightly toned and dusty, are ligh…tly rubbed to edges, corners and folds, with a small abrasion and faint blue horizontal mark to the upper portion of the front panel. Altogether, a very well preserved copy. This beautifully produced slim volume, issued in an edition of just 120 copies, belies its greater significance. Heather Cass White, in her invaluable edition and study of 'The Pangolin and Other Verse' goes as far as to claim that the volume, containing only five poems, "represents the culmination of the work [Moore] produced in the four years preceding its publication, and as such marks the high-water mark of [her] entire poetic career". The book followed 'Poems' (1921), 'Observations' (1924), and 'Selected Poems' (1935). The latter volume (an unusual undertaking for a poet near the start of her publishing career), published simultaneously in the UK and US, was put together in close collaboration with T. S. Eliot at Faber and Faber, who provided the introduction ("My conviction, for what it is worth, has remained unchanged for the last fourteen years: that Miss Moore's poems form part of the small body of durable poetry written in our time"). Having worked closely with Eliot on the arrangement of the Selected Poems, Moore again turned to Eliot as she considered her book for the novelist and poet, Bryher's (Annie Winifred Ellerman Bryher 1894-1983) Brendin Press. Founded in 1935, the press, in addition to publishing the periodical 'Life and Letters', issued a series of carefully designed limited editions of contemporary poetry. On May 31, 1935, Moore sent Eliot a manuscript, asking "[i]f these four poems were to be printed together, would you be the friend to them you were to the poems in my book, and advise me as [sic] the order in which I ought to place them?". By the time Eliot replied, agreeing to the order and suggesting that one of the poems, 'The Pangolin', should provide the book's title, Moore had composed a fifth poem, 'Jamestown' (which became 'Virginia Brittanica'), and had contacted her old friend, George Plank, to ask if he would provide illustrations. She wrote to Plank of being "follied into another effort a kind of commentary on Virginia. [.] It deals with Jamestown church-tower ruin and table tombstones, and Captain John Smith's coat of arms, (a Turk's heads [sic] and an ostrich with a horseshoe in its beak), dwarf box-edged flower beds, ivy arbors and lead statuary, saddle horses, hounds, raccoons, owls, French furniture, and so on; the pomegranate and African violet also." The final ordering of the poems as a sequence of four poems entitled 'The Old Dominion', followed by 'The Pangolin' alone, stressed what White refers to as the "decisively human focus" of the volume, a kind of coded "commentary on American history and art". (White demonstrates how later orderings and revisions of the poems diminished and defused this polemical edge.) Randall Jarrell later wrote of the title poem that it "may be her best poem; [.] certainly one of the most moving, honest, and haunting poems that anyone has written in our century." Prompted by an article in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History and a small bronze pangolin at the Museum of Modern Art, it is one the poet's great animal poems. Linda Leavell notes that "whereas earlier poems idealized the animal's dignity against human greed and shortsightedness, here the pangolin is shown to resemble humans in its postures and its daily toil." Plank's finely detailed illustrations, like latter-day emblems, beautifully complement the poems. (Linda Leavell, 'Holding On Upside Down: The Life and Work of Marianne Moore', London, 2013; Heather Cass White, 'A-Quiver with Significance: Marianne Moore, 1932-1936', Victoria, 2008). (Abbott A5).
