THE AVENUE OF THE ALLIES AND VICTORY

New York: The Book Committee of the Art War Relief, (1918). Childe Hassam. First Edition. Hardcover. Cloth-backed embossed boards; printed on quality paper and bound by the Plimpton Press in what obviously must have been a limited edition. Illustrated with a color frontispiece after the painting ALLIES DAY by Childe Hassam. Includes two poems by Noyes, "The Avenue of the Allies" and "Victory," printed, according to Taft's foreword, to raise funds for the Royal Literary Fund and "for the relief of artists and their families who have suffered privations due to the war." SIGNED on the front endpaper by Noyes, Hassam, Taft, and sculptor Paul Manship, whose medallion of "Victory" is embossed on the front cover. An uncommon title, scarce to find signed by all four contributors. Pages unopened; soiling to covers. Very Good. Item #020231
