4to, pp. 239 in unbound, unopened signatures. Original chemise in brown card papered in grey, lettered in brown to spine. Matching slipcase. A fine copy in the slipcase, which is a little browned and rubbed. 18 wood engravings by Mark F. Severin. First collected edition. No. 474 of a total edition of 520 copies, 20 of which were numbered I to XX, signed, and with three additional wood engravings. Séverin fils, a graphic designer and master engraver, published this collection of the poetry of Séverin père in 1951, twenty years after his father's death. The production values are fittingly high for such an object: it carries eighteen of the son's wood engravings and is printed on velin de Rives, the whole housed in a chemise and slipcase. An excellent copy.
