£100.00

With a gift inscription on the title page “Ed Marsh from Robt Bridges 1915.” A deeply obscure book of very morbid mystical poems, almost all of them dealing with death or suicide. The illustrator, Amy Morgan Price, established a reputation as a jewellery designer, but of the author we can find nothing except the printing of the even stranger sounding “Completion” of Keats’s Hyperion, in 1922 though assume that he/she was one of Amy’s siblings. The printed dedication “The Memory of T.L.C.P.” is to the late and magnificently named Theodore Lorenzo Candelent Price, Amy’s father.
