Author: DOWSON, Ernest. (Huib van KRIMPEN & Max de JONG)
Title: Selected Poems. (Printer's proof of a never published Dowson edition).
Description: [Amsterdam], self-published, 1946. Proof. Without cover. 40 p. Uncut. Paper browned. Large tear in halftitle (= outer page). With many corrections (and sundry errors that went uncorrected), partly in the handwriting of Huib van Krimpen. Feel free to ask for more pictures. This joint publication by writer Max de Jong and typographer-publisher Huib van Krimpen never materialized and probably got stuck in the proofing phase. The title page shows the printed year 1945, which has been changedmanually to 1946. According to the colophon, the edition was 500: 'Five hundred copies have been pronted [sic] by Messrs G.J. Thieme at Nijmegen for the publisher of. [sic]'. This booklet ties in with the poems by Langston Hughes that Van Krimpen had published in 1944, and with 'Plaquette' by Max de Jong, also published by Huib van Krimpen. Not in Brinkman, NCC or Worldcat.
