Description
Limited Editions Club. In 1935, Matisse considered the plates he did for Ulysses among his best work in the graphic arts.The text of this version is considered the most accurate printed in the U.S. It is printed on specially made rag paper from the Worthy Paper Company, and the etchings printed on Cannon Gravure. The volume is bound in brown Bancroft Buckram, and embossed with a Leroy Appleton design in gold bas-relief. The edition includes an explanatory preface by Joyce-endorsed critic Stuart Gilbert. This book is in near fine condition. It is missing its slipcase and the gold on the front is rubbed. Inside, there is the original owner's bookplate on the front pastedown. Otherwise, inside is very clean. I would be happy to send additional detailed photos to interested buyers.
plates : Full page illustrations or photographs. Plates are printed separately from the text of the book, and bound in at production. I.e., they are not sewn as parts of gatherings.
bookplate : A device (often decorative) affixed to the book, usually on the endpapers, which designates ownership (or former ownership).
buckram : A cloth made of cotton or linen which is used to cover a book.
pastedown : The paper glued to the inside cover of a hard cover book.
