WARMLY, LENGTHILY INSCRIBED BY JOHN VASSOS TO HIS FRIENDS AND CAPE COD NEIGHBORS BLANCH AND STAN LOOMIS ("DEATH HAS A FASCINATION FOR MOST OF US, AND TO ME IT HAS BEEN A SUBJECT RICH FOR PICTORIAL EXPRESSION. MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING BEYOND."). The 1931 1st thus, the first pairing of Thomas Gray's immortal text with John Vassos' chilling, first-rate illustrations. Solid and VG in its duotone cloth, with mild soiling and spotting along the panels. Octavo, the verse of Thomas Gray, counterbalanced by the dark, ethereal images of John Vassos (1898-1985).
