This issue includes two works by Austin Osman Spare: a full page reproduction of a pen drawing "Farewell to Synthesis" and a magnificent double page lithograph (untitled: of a bending female nude) , as well as artwork by John Austen, Cecil French, Grace E. Rogers, Nora Wright, etc. Literary contributions by W. H. Davies, Aldous Huxley, Clifford Bax, and others. Wrappers a little rubbed and darkened.
