YOUTH AND THE SAGE (illustrated by Austin Spare)
by Retlaw, Warren & Spare, Austin
ISBN: 1872189377
Item Type: Oversized (8" by 10" or larger) Paperback
Publisher: Mandrake Press Ltd
A Philosophic Poem of 95 Quatrains, Coloured frontispiece. The identity of "Retlaw" is an enigma. The editor in a useful appendix gives reasons why it might be Warren Walter and by careful analysis of Spare's portraits suggests that he may have been Spare's framier. Certainly Spare leant considerable assistance to the writing and publication of this work in 1927. Further appendices deal with Spare's address at this period, 52 Becket House, which Spare used for an exhibition. One of Spare's rarest ephemera "Prices - and the reason for a Guinea Exhibition" which related to these domestic exhibitions is reproduced. There is a further appendix concerning Spare's signature and its employment of the masonic symbol of the cirlce with a dot in the centre. Also reproduced is the Rubiyat of Omar Khayam as Spare's illustrations for the work, later employed elsewhere, are relevant to the discussion.
