First Edition, First Printing. From an edition of 154 copies this is one of just 15 numbered in roman. All copies were signed by Arikha on each engraving. With the author's signed presentation inscription to the first blank leaf, "to Dick Seaver with love from Sam Paris May 69 and with love from Avigdor". All this is in Beckett's hand. Laid in is a card inscribed by Arikha. Seaver was a writer and translator and Beckett's editor at the Grove Press.
Folio. Unbound leaves laid into cream wrappers and contained in a brown cloth slipcase lettered in white. Six original engravings by Arikha. Outer wrappers rather tanned from contact with the slipcase, case a little marked but an excellent copy.
