The Waste Land

Liveright, New York, 1922

The first American edition's title page, reproduced at full size from a clean copy — the blind-stamped library mark still showing faintly through the sheet. On the reverse, newly created artwork answering the dead-tree passage, with the line itself set beneath it.

Front: title page reproduced from the 1922 Horace Liveright edition of The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, from public-domain source material. Reverse: original artwork created for FrontisPress, responding to a passage from the same 1922 text. The artwork did not appear in the historical edition.

Paper

All stocks are acid-free. Thickness is given in points — a point is a thousandth of an inch.

A woven texture close to the laid paper these pages were printed on. The lightest of the four, and the one that reads as book rather than card.
