This copy is numbered 580, adding to its appeal as a collectible example of a distinguished mid-twentieth-century bibliophile edition. Issued in a limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies, this 1959 fine-press publication presents Ezra Pound’s H. S. Mauberley, one of the key poetic works of literary modernism. The poem, first published in 1920, offers a sharp and disillusioned reflection on the role of the artist in the modern world, confronting cultural decline, the aftermath of war, and the tension between classical ideals and contemporary reality. This edition was published in Milan by All’insegna del pesce d’oro (Vanni Scheiwiller) and features the text in English with an Italian translation by Giovanni Giudici, accompanied by three original illustrations by Jean Cocteau.
