Description
CROWLEY, ALEISTER. 1875-1947.
Mortadello. London: Weiland and Company, 1912.
8vo (220 x 170 mm). 116, 119-121 pp (without advetisement, pp 117-8). Plain blue wrappers, toning to endpapers.
Provenance: RM (or RW) [manuscript note to endpaper: 'Alistair [sic] Crowley wanted us produce this [sic]. 1937 about. The introduction was effected by Lady Harris (wife of Sir Percy Harris, M.P. for Bethnall Green who painted (Lady H) under the name of Jesus Chutney. RM']
FIRST EDITION, LATER ISSUE, WITH AN INTERESTING PROVENANCE NOTE TO ENDPAPER. One of Crowley's own favorites, Mortadello was first published in 1912. In the mid-1930s Crowley attempted to produce a play or film with civil rights activist and actor Paul Robeson. Although the play never came to fruition, the provenance note here regarding Lady Harris and a possible 1937 publication of Mortadello may be associated. Yorke 49.
