The Portrait of a Generation; Including the Revolving Mirror

Paris: Contact Editions, Three Mountains Press, 1926. First edition, One of 210 copies. 98, [1] pp. 8vo. Original French-folded printed wrappers. Entirely uncut and unopened, an exceptional copy in original condition. First edition, One of 210 copies. 98, [1] pp. 8vo. One of 200 copies (of which 10 were on Vergé d'Arches), printed by Dijon printer Maurice Darantiere who issued books for McAlmon's own Contact Editions and its stable of authors (Hemingway, Pound, H.D., W.C. Willians, Gertrude Stein, and many other key modernists). He is perhaps best known for the herculean task of printing the original Shakespeare & Co. edition of Joyce's Ulysses. (truncated) McAlmon was at the very center of the Mdernist movement through his publishing venture, and his books – including this collection of poems – are cornerstone works in their own right.
