Beschreibung

Marbled wrappers, printed paper label. Edition limited to 95 numbered copies, this copy unnumbered, inscribed by the printer "proof copy"; with his inscription to the collector Thomas Davidson, "Tom from Alan". Lilian Bowes Lyon (1895-1949) died the year after Jonathan Cape issued her Collected Poems. These poems (all but one) come from that last year, when she was in agonies of advanced arthritis. A granddaughter of two earls (Strathmore and Kinghorne, Crawford and Balcarres) and first cousin of a queen (Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother), she still managed to publish five books of verse and two novels. William Plomer, a great supporter, contributed an obituary of her to The Times. Halliwell A76. Lot 379 of the bookseller G.F. Sims's closing-down sale at Bloomsbury Book Auctions, 2 July 1987, included a copy of Uncollected Poems, "one of 6 proof copies on Glastonbury paper" (not noted by Hallowell); this, however, is on Barcham Green, as was the main printing.
