1996 · (London)
by Stanislaus Eric, Count Stenbock; David Michael Tibet (Introduction)
(London): Durtro Press, 1996. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. One of 300 copies, duodecimo size, 200 pp. Graf Eric Stanislaus Stenbock (1860-1895) is known for his "macabre fantastic fiction" (n.b., from Wiki). He lived an eccentric life and died at a tragically young age from cirrhosis of the liver, likely due to his indulgence in alcohol and drugs.
His few works are excessively difficult to find in their original editions; the Durtro Press published this edition of 300 copies in 1996 and a subsequent work with his Collected Poems, in an edition of 400 copies, in 2001.
This work includes: "Hylas", "Narcissus", "The Death of a Vocation", "Viol d'Amor", "The Egg Of The Albatross", "The True Story Of A Vampire", "The Worm Of Luck", "The Other Side" and, as translations from Balzac, "Christ In Flanders" and "A Passion In The Desert".
___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full white cloth over boards, front board with an illustration by Stenbock stamped in black, black lettering on the spine, Stenbock's heraldic device stamped on the back board in black, top edge stained black, black endpapers, frontis a black-and-white reproduction of a photograph of his gravestone, limitation statement on copyright page, this no. 91 of 300 copies, following the title page are two black-and-white reproductions of photographs, one of Stenbock in St. Petersburg and the second of the family home, Withdeane Hall; binding duodecimo size (7 5/8" by 6"), pagination: [i-vi] vii-[xvi] 1-182 [1, blank] [1, printer's statement].
___CONDITION: Fine, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; clean, crisp, and as new.
