Dust wrapper present but worn and with verso of dust wrapper torn and worn. This was Patrick Scott's first publication and is very scarce.

Their ambition and attitude provided a much-needed focus for the isolated cosmopolitan desperate to escape the inertia of war-bound Dublin. Their energy and broadminded attitude to the visual arts must have given some Irish artists a sense of continuing the project of modernism which the war had disrupted elsewhere. The Three Candles Press was founded by Colm Ó Lochlainn (1892–1972), who was noted for the quality of his typography. Hard to find.
