1918réf. 154058London: Egoist Press 1918. Inscribed to an early reviewer of Ulysses First edition to be printed in Britain inscribed by the author "To George and Mary Slocombe James Joyce Paris 7. i. 1926" on the half-title. George Slocombe was an English journalist writing for the American papers. Joyce asked Sylvia Beach to send him a press copy of Ulysses and he was among its first reviewers telling the readers of the Daily Herald that it was "as large as a telephone directory or a family Bible and with many of the literary and social characteristics of each". Joyce's inscriptions usually appear on the front free endpaper; in this copy however that space was already taken by the ownership inscription dated and located "Paris 1921" of Allan Ross "Dougie" MacDougall 1893-1956 a gay expatriate Scotsman in Paris friend and later biographer of Isadora Duncan. In the early 1920s MacDougall had a regular column in the Chicago Tribune and he and Slocombe shared a close mutual friend in Edna St Vincent Millay. Presumably MacDougall gave the book to Slocombe who then asked Joyce to inscribe it. Portrait was serialized in the English literary magazine The Egoist in 1914 and 1915 and first published as a book in 1916 by B. W. Huebsch of New York from whom Harriet Shaw Weaver proprietor of the Egoist Press purchased and bound some 750 sets of the US sheets issuing them in London under the Egoist imprint in 1917. This second edition is the first to be printed in Britain. Presentation copies of this printing are rare and examples with such intriguing Parisian provenance are exceptional. Octavo. Original green cloth titles to front board in blind and to spine in white. Housed in a navy blue morocco backed book-form folding case by the Chelsea Bindery. Spine heavily toned and somewhat rolled some toning around margins within but still a sound copy in good condition. Slocum & Cahoon A13. hardcover
1916réf. 5554New York: B.W. Huebsch 1916. First Edition. Joyce's autobiographical first novel first serialized in 25 installments in The Egoist between February 2 1914 and September 1 1915 by his great patron Harriet Shaw Weaver. As for the book publication she was unsuccessful at finding an English printer willing to assume the responsibility of setting the text - seven of them refused to do it all on moral grounds. "Under English law unlike American the printing of immoral writings is as actionable as their publication" Slocum & Cahoon p.20. Weaver sent a copy of her Egoist serialization to New York bookseller Edmond Byrne Hackett who in turn contacted B.W. Huebsch who undertook the publication of Portrait just as he had for Dubliners several weeks earlier. ".on 16 June an emblematic date for Joyce Benjamin Huebsch wrote to Miss Weaver with his proposal: publication of the complete novel with sheets printed in the US going to the English publisher under joint imprints the costs being shared.He was anxious he said to see Joyce properly launched in America and Pound recommended that Huebsch's offer be accepted" Bowker Gordon. James Joyce: A New Biography p.226. Through his alter ego Stephen Dedalus Joyce "describes his spiritual journey through his Jesuit education and petty bourgeois Dublin to forge through 'silence exile and cunning' the 'uncreated conscience of his race'.A landmark in sensibility the prose moves forward in complexity from the child's sensations at the beginning to the adolescent subtleties at the end" Connolly 26. The number of copies of the first printing is unknown but a second was published in April 1917 followed by three additional printings 1918-1922 before Huebsch merged his publishing house with the Viking Press. We know of no documented presentation copies of the American edition of Portrait; the present copy likely one of a very few copies with distinguished provenance not already in institutional hands was one of Benjamin Huebsch's own retained copies left to his son Ian Oscar Huebsch then passed by inheritance to a family friend.

1917réf. 463618New York: B.W. Huebsch 1917. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Second printing April 1917 of the American edition the first edition was published in December 1916 preceding the English edition. Octavo. 299pp. Blue cloth stamped in blind and gilt. Contemporary bookplate of Walter A. Donnelly on the front pastedown and his ownership signature on the front fly else very near fine in attractive very good or better second printing dustjacket with several old internal tape repairs mostly at the folds and not visible on the outside. The text of the second printing jacket appears to be identical to the text of the first printing although laid out slightly differently with "Second printing" overstamped in red on the front panel. Joyce's landmark first novel. Huebsch printed 1250 sets of sheets for the first edition selling 500 sets to England for the Egoist Press edition which was published later thus the true first edition in this case the American edition preceded the English was 750 copies. We are unaware of the number of copies in the second printing but it was likely to have been quite small perhaps as few as 500 copies. Although the first edition is rare in jacket we've at least seen a few jacketed copies. This is the first copy we've seen of the second printing in the appropriate jacket. B.W. Huebsch hardcover
1916réf. 3926New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First edition. Very Good . A Very Good copy with minor shelfwear to extremities. Spine toned. Rear inner hinge tender but holding. Previous owner's bookplate to the front free endpaper. Joyce's first novel recounts the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus the artistic alter-ego of Joyce himself. Stephen grows up ensconced in rigid institutions: the church school system family and national politics. Feeling trapped Stephen experiences a series of awakenings as he grows older and as a result of these awakenings Stephen rejects these traditional bulwarks of Irish culture. Instead he develops an aestheticism that will support his artistic vision. This rejection of existing communities and institutions alongside his embrace of a new aestheticism alienates Stephen from what he knows. Facing this alienation Stephen decides to leave Ireland and pursue his art abroad. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an important contribution to literary modernism. One aspect of this innovativeness is Joyce's use of age-appropriate syntax and vocabulary. The beginning of the novel which starts in Stephen's infancy is mostly monosyllabic nonsense. As Stephen grows older and grasps more about the world and his place in it the novel's vocabulary and syntax become correspondingly complex. Of Joyce's first novel H.G. Wells writes that "It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive imaginative boy in Dublin. The technique is startling but on the whole it succeeds." Very Good . B. W. Huebsch unknown

Preserved in a custom 1/4 morocco folding box. Joyce made an earlier attempt to inscribe this copy to someone else; the eradication of the earlier inscription can be seen if the page is held to the light.
