Brown paper wraps. Includes the first American publication of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Complete with Robert Delaunay's water-color frontispiece "St. Severin", which leaves a much less than usual offsetting to first page. Loss to bottom of front wrap (see image), but otherwise a nice clean complete issue with no previous owners' names or other markings. 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.
