APOLLINAIRE, Guillaume. The Poet Assassinated. New York: Broom, 1923. Octavo, 158pp. First edition in English translation by American expatriate fixture Matthew Josephson. One of twelve hundred and fifty copies on Alexandra Japan vellum, this being copy number 403. A very good copy in publishers quarter Japan vellum and paper-covered boards and a not-quite-very-good example of the rare and fragile printed dust jacket -- the spine and borders are rather sunned. Inscribed by Josephson to noted modernist painter Charles Sheeler, "July 25, 1925. to my friends Katherine and Charles Sheeler. Matthew Josephson" Ilustrated with frontispiece of Apollinaire by André Rouveyre and four woodcuts by André Dérain, originally executed for the Au Sans Pareil edition.
