One of just 100 copies of a scarce, privately published edition of poems called Salvo for Russia, produced in 1942 in aid of the ‘Comforts Fund for Women and Children of Russia’, was offered in a recent West Country sale.
Part of a Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood (21% buyer’s premium) sale of March 14, it sold at £2900.
In the original portfolio, it contained just four pages of text, but the main attraction was a group of 10 signed and numbered etched or engraved plates.
