![]() The stories contained herein are a selection of Katherine Mansfield's "best" works from across her career as such, the content slightly differs from the celebrated 1922 edition of the same name. Though printed in 1939, the outbreak of the Second World War delayed publication until 1947. This edition is beautifully illustrated with "queer femme illustrations with a Gallic twist" by the important Parisian Cubist artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956) (Pilcher). The total edition was of 1,200 copies, designed and printed by the elite printer Hans Mardersteig of the Officina Bodoni. First Laurencin edition, copy 8 of 30 deluxe copies specially bound and signed by the artist (this copy signed in pencil on both the Colophon page and the limitation page overleaf). ![]()
