THE LAUGHER

by [Wall, Bernhardt (etcher)]: Wood, Clement

  • Used
  • Hardcover
New York: Published by Bernhardt Wall, 1922. [5],8,[1] leaves. Small quarto (21 x 16.2 cm). Cloth tape backed boards, etched pictorial label. Fore- tips of boards worn, with chips to the extended crown and toe of the spine tape, small chip to fore-edge of front free endsheet, two leaves show a bit of marginal foxing, but a good, internally very good copy. First edition. Copy #1 of fifty numbered copies, signed by the author and artist/printer/publisher. Comprised of fourteen original copper-plate etchings by Wall, plus the label, printed in various colors. In his monograph on Wall's work, F.J. Weber reports the edition consisted of one hundred copies. Given the nature of the production, at some point after this copy was printed, Wall could easily have elected to enlarge the edition to accommodate a greater number of orders than expected. WEBER, p.33.
