Personae & Exultations

Ezra Pound

59pp., 51pp.; 17.7 x 11.5 cm. Drab paper boards lettered in gold on front cover and spine.

Published London: Elkin Mathews, 1913

Part of Ezra Pound, IV.

A composite of sheets of Personae (1909) and Exultations (1909), with their title pages removed and a new title page bound in. At the end of Personae one find the printer’s device (Chiswick Press) followed by a few blanks, a half-title for Exultations, and onward; at the end of Exultations one finds the same printer’s credit; then followed by adverts for Elkin Mathews’ “Vigo Cabinet” and “Satchel Series.” One of less than 500 copies. Only the tiniest bump at the bottom of front board; an absolutely beautiful copy and a compliment to any collection. Gallup A3b (and A4b).
