War and Love

Boston: The Four Seas Co, 1919. First Edition. Octavo (19.5cm). Decorated paper-covered boards with printed paper title labels; dustjacket; 94pp. A tight, unworn copy, very Near Fine. In original printed dustwrapper, complete and just lightly soiled and worn, but with old kraft-paper reinforcements to verso. Presumed later issue jacket, with applied price label ("$1.50 net") on spine panel; the label is lightly scuffed. Withal, a quite pretty copy of Aldington's second published poetry collection, a cycle of imagist meditations on the First World War written while he was a lieutenant in the British Army. There was no equivalent British edition.
