[Mt. Vernon, NY]: The Golden Eagle Press, [1949]. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. The first separate printing of Cumming's poem "Puella Mea," originally published in book form in "Tulips and Chimneys."

Printed in rose brown ink and illustrated with drawings by Klee, Picasso, Modigliani, Kurt Roesch, and Cummings. Lightly sunned to board extremities, spine mildly cocked, else very good in a good jacket, weakened along hinges and with a 1/3" chip at base of spine and small chips at top of rear panel and corners.
