Edward Titus (18761952), an American expatriate bookseller and publisher in Paris, founded the Sign of the Black Manikin Press in the 1920s. From his Rue Delambre bookshopneighbor to Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and CompanyTitus merged literary modernism with fine-press craftsmanship, producing limited editions that championed both aesthetic innovation and freedom of expression. Rococo was his first publication, setting the artistic tone for later press milestones such as Lady Chatterley's Lover and early works by Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller. Ralph Cheever Dunning, an American expatriate poet associated with Ezra Pound's Paris circle, here meditates on beauty and transience in the refined, introspective voice that characterized early modernist verse. Simon's delicate engravings heighten its period grace and collectible appeal. Howard Simon (19021979) was an American illustrator, painter, and printmaker renowned for his woodcuts. His illustrations for Rococo exemplify his mastery of the medium, capturing the delicate intricacies of the poem's themes. Simon's work is held in numerous museum collections, and he contributed illustrations to several dozen books . Subjects: Black Manikin Press, Edward W.
