First edition, first issue binding, with an autograph letter signed by Cunard to the publisher Erica Marx, tipped to the front free endpaper and dated 4 April 1957. This letter introduced Marx to the writer Eric Walrond and directly led to their collaboration on a Black poetry reading in London, following which Walrond attempted to publish his own companion anthology. Cunard's letter replies to Marx (1909-1969), "How good, how interesting is your idea of a Negro Programme - with music. I wish I could help. I am entirely out of touch. I think Eric Walrond. might be the very person for you". The Harlem Renaissance writer Walrond (1898-1966) proved receptive to Marx's novel idea and "explained that although there had been comparable efforts on the radio, it was high time for what Marx proposed [in person]" (Davis, p. 334). Walrond and Marx's "Black and Unknown Bards" event included performances of works by historical Black figures who Walrond researched at the British Museum, and it took place at the Royal Court Theatre in Sloane Square on 5 October 1958. Afterwards, Walrond met with the editor-in-chief of Penguin Books to discuss his manuscript for a companion anthology to the event, though it was never published. Erica Marx herself gave voice to budding writers through her Hand and Flower Press, and she was also one of the first directors of the Poetry Book Society. Negro Anthology "is a staggering accomplishment - in purpose, breadth of information, and size. Almost 8 pounds, 855 pages (12 inches by 10 inches), with 200 entries by 150 contributors (the majority, Black) and nearly 400 illustrations, it was, and in many ways remains, unique - an encyclopaedic introduction to the history, social and political conditions, and cultural achievements of the Black population throughout the world" (Gordon, p. 181). Cunard paid the printing costs and controlled every aspect of the production. "It is clear from her FBI file that spies in London reported to the United States on the preparation and publication of the Negro Anthology. The censors intervened and insisted that René Crevel's 'The negress in the Brothel,' translated by Samuel Beckett, be removed from Negro. Undaunted, Cunard had the three pages set secretly by the radical Utopia Press and tipped them in while binding the volumes herself. The essay is not listed in the table of contents but is actually in the printed book - a reminder of her radical resourcefulness" (Marcus, p. 139). Among the 150 figures included were Louis Armstrong, W. E. B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Theodore Dreiser, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams. The first issue binding was in brown rather than black cloth. Different authorities cite a print run of either 1,000 or 1,150 copies, and a large number of unsold copies were destroyed during the Blitz in a warehouse fire.
