Description: A draft of XVI CANTOS. Paris: Three Mountains Press, 1925. Uncorrected Proofs. Folio. Unbound signatures printed entirely on proofing paper and designated as "Author's Proof" on the colophon page. A textual annotation appears in the margin of the 8th Canto in Pound's hand. With the original publisher's prospectus laid in. The bibliographer (Gallup A26) notes that Pound sent out a literal handful of advance proof copies to a few close friends (such as Ford Madox Ford and Agnes Bedford) and this copy (with prospectus) undoubtedly is of that group. A few pages lightly used at margins, else a well-preserved copy in specially made folding box with gilt-stamped morocco spine. The earliest printed text of this seminal modern masterpiece. See all 12 pictures.
