Brown paper wraps including the first American publication of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Complete with Robert Delaunay's water-color frontispiece "St. Severin" significantly without the usual transfer. Minor staining to front wrap (see image), but otherwise a nice clean complete issue with no previous owners' names or other defacements. An exceptional copy of a fragile work. 6.5 x 9.5 in

The Waste Land is a 434-line modernist poem by T.S. Eliot, first published in 1922. It is one of the most important poems of the 20th century.
