Delevante: Drawings and Poems [*SIGNED*]

(n.p.): (published by the artist/poet). Fine in Fine dj. [1962?]. First Edition. Softcover. (small softcover booklet, 3-3/4" x 4-3/4", with illustrated dust jacket) [both booklet and jacket are Fine]. (pen and ink drawings) SIGNED and DATED (4/14/62) on the title page, and again at the end of "Letter to My Paintings" near the end of the booklet. 60 un-numbered pages (not including covers); mostly drawings and verse, but also including a 4-page introduction by Rose Moose and the texts of two letters ("Letter to My Paintings" and "An Answer to My Letter"), the former dated January 14, 1954. Sidney Delevante (1894-1984) was a Jamaican-American illustrator; his papers are held (in microfilm form) by the Archives of American Art, whose website describes him as a "painter of child-like, fantastic figures [who] taught at Columbia University and Cooper Union." (It's unclear from their online information whether this particular publication is included in their holdings or not; also, lacking any other publication information, I have assigned the 1962 date based on the dated signature.)
