Griffith. 26.6x18.9 cm (10½x7½“), saddle-stitched wrappers with illustrated paper label tipped to cover, housed in blue cloth-covered custom folder. One of 200 copies produced, 96 of which were for sale.“Alberts reported being advised by the printer that the print run was 200 copies. of which Mayfield intended to sell only 96, and that nothing distinguished the one group of copies from the other. Alberts also reported that the publication date was uncertain and may have followed the publication of the limited and even the trade issue of Cawdor and Other Poems, but he concluded that this item might properly be considered the first appearance of ‘An Artist‘ since Cawdor prints a revised version of the poem.“ - Broomfield A8.
