The works Gemor published--eight titles all together six of them by Nin herself--were frequently illustrated by Nin's husband Hugh Parker Guiler who went under the pseudonym Ian Hugo. The colophon in this work notes that Hugo "used the tecnique sic which William Blake called 'revealed' because it was revealed to him by his brother in a dream. This is the first time this technique as developed by S.W. Hayter has been employed since Blake invented it." Winter of Artifice was first published by the Obelisk Press in 1939 but the contents were revised for this edition which Nin's bibliographer Benjamin Franklin yes that's right claims is one of the hardest to date. Nin's diary usefully notes that the work was delivered fully bound on May 15 1942. Franklin A3b. Gemor Press unknown books
