About This Item
New York: Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith, 1929. First Printing. Paper covered boards. Good Plus. Lynd Ward. 8vo. Shelfwear to paper-covered boards. Edgewear and a little fraying to top of spine. Front hinge just started. Overall, a solid, presentable copy, lacking the scarce dustjacket.
This wordless novel beautifully retells the timeless Faustian tragedy, as a struggling artist sells his soul to "the man at the crossroads" in order to become successful. The tale is told in a masterful sequence of 144 stark and haunting woodblock prints.
