Eliot (T.S.) Triumphal March, one of 300 large paper copies signed by the author, W. J. Crawley's copy, illustrations by E. McKnight Kauffer, original boards, spine lightly toned, otherwise fine, [Gallup A19b.], 8vo, Curwen Press, 1931.*** Provenance: W.J. Crawley (Faber Director; envelope addressed to Crawley at his home in Highgate).Crawley was the head of Faber's sales department through the 1960s, and a friend of Eliot's from the early 1930s until the poet's death in 1965. His judgement about whether a book would sell was considered infallible and he famously argued, during a heated discussion at the legendary Faber Book Committee in the autumn of 1953, against publishing William Golding's Lord of the Flies.
