(SHAW, George Bernard) ROOSEVELT, Theodore.
A Note on the Irish Players by Theodore Roosevelt and an "Interview" on the Irish Players in America by George Bernard Shaw.
Proof state of unpublished edition, one of 20 copies only. Inscribed by Shaw on the contents leaf: "Roosevelt's note is the most sensible utterance I can recollect from him. But why erase the name of John Quinn? G. Bernard Shaw. London 3 Oct. 1931." "The setting was ordered by Mitchell Kennerley for John Quinn in 1912. A history of the work appeared in the American Art Association Anderson Galleries sale catalogue for 30 April 1930 … In the beginning twenty sets of these proofs were pulled" (Laurence).
Duodecimo, 23 singleton leaves, rectos only. Note by John Quinn with his name crossed out at end (as is so in all copies, as per Laurence). Stapled at upper left, as issued, near fine.
