SASSOON, Siegfried (1886-1967). [Two Poems:] 'Wealth of Awareness' and 'The Child at the Window'. [Printed by Hamo Sassoon at Finedon, Northamptonshire: 1941]. Broadsheets (each 270 x 210mm). (A few very light marks and very light marginal browning, each folded once.) Provenance: Hamo Sassoon (photocopied letter of 18 September 1998 offering 'my personal copies' to:) -- Bertram Rota Ltd, London.
EACH ONE OF FIVE COPIES, FROM THE COLLECTION OF SASSOON'S NEPHEW HAMO SASSOON, the printer of the poems. These two poems are taken from Rhymed Ruminations and were printed at a printer's shop in Finedon, near Wellingborough, Northamptonshire in 1941 by Hamo Sassoon; each bears the name of the typeface at the foot of the text, '14 Pt. Cambridge.' and '14 Pt. Gill Sans, Bold.' respectively (the latter also captioned 'Composuit S. Sassoon Impressit H. Sassoon'). Keynes states that the number of copies was 'probably not more than five of either' and Hamo Sassoon states in his letter to Bertram Rota Ltd that, 'I can confirm that I only printed five copies of each poem'. Keynes A48. (2)
