Octavo, 80pp. First edition of Brecht's masterpiece, a play with music, based on John Gay's Beggar's Opera.

GARCÍA LORCA, Federico. Pencil and Pen-and-Ink Portrait of Garcia Lorca, Signed by Lorca. c. 1934. 7" x 10" original portrait drawing of the great Spanish poet and playwright, probably created for inclusion in a newspaper, as suggested by partially effaced docketing on the verso. Lorca travelled in Argentina in 1933-1934 and this image was produced during his stay there. It appears to be signed by the otherwise unidentified artist, but quite illegibly, along the lower edge. Signed by Lorca in the lower right corner. A rare opportunity to acquire a signed image of this immortal.
