Note
  • "This is the first edition to present the poem in the form Mallarmé intended: as a book, his original dimensions and mathematical correspondences respected, the text and binding in stark black and white, its four illustrations 'blond and pale.' The paper is Umbria, handmade in Italy by the Fabriano mill. Several cuttings of Bodoni were employed to approximate the Firmin-Didot of the original proofs ... Sixty copies were designed and printed by Gary Young and Felicia Rice ... in Santa Cruz, California. The woodcut illustrations are by Gary Young."--Printer's note (p. [39]).
Provenance (note)
  • Inscribed in graphite, on lower fly leaf, "D.J. Waldie" and "Gary Young."
