NY, W.W. Norton, [1940]. The first edition of this collection of poems originally written when Garcia Lorca lived in New York and attended Columbia University, in 1929-1930, but not published until after he had died and the Spanish Civil War had ended. Spanish text, and English translation by Rolfe Humphries. A very near fine copy in a very good dust jacket with chips at the spine extremities and flap folds and a tear at the lower front panel.

Two owner names and a comment in the prelims; tape shadows to the endpages; upper and lower edge tears at the front joint. A good copy in wrappers, with less of the darkening and chipping that frequently afflicts the wrappers of this title.
