Thomas A. Goldwasser Rare Books

50 Songs; [Privately printed]

Ives, Charles E.

Redding, Conn: C.E. Ives, 1922. First edition. Original printed boards with cloth back and paper spine label, 6-1/2 in. x 12 in. 1 score (258 [i.e. 112]) pages ; 31 cm. Light soiling to back cover, corners and spine label show slight wear, else fine. Ives selected these (actually 52 songs) from his collection 114 Songs, published earlier in 1922, as being of greater general interest. Both collections were privately engraved and printed for Ives by G. Schirmer, the 114 Songs in edition of 1500 copies; we haven't located a record of the number printed of 50 Songs, but it must have been far fewer. Item #31331
