Bifold card with an illustration by Jones at the upper panel showing violinist surrounded by birds, and at lower cover a reproduction of Jones's lettering style applied to the hymn, "Sing Hevin Imperial." T. S. Eliot was chiefly responsible for recruiting Jones to Faber & Faber, beginning with his WWI epic, In Parenthesis, in 1937, and later publishing The Anathemata and The Sleeping Lord. Jones's literary style borrowed heavily from his beginnings as a visual artist, wherein he combined the frenzy of Wyndham Lewis's Vorticism, the post-Impressionism of Roger Fry's Omega Workshop, and his own ecstatic affection for Roman history, Christian doctrine, and Welsh mythology. Included too are reproductions of his drawings Animetur Gentilis and The Mother of the West. Light soiling to card, else a near fine selection of Jones's visual sensibilities.
