LOT 3017
FREUD, Lucian (dust-jacket design) and Franz WERFEL. Paul Among the Jews… translated by Paul Levertoff. London: The Grey Walls Press, 1943. First English edition, 8vo (184 x 116mm.) (Mild toning.) Original red cloth (fading to edges), dust-jacket designed by Lucian Freud (spotting to upper panel, less so to lower, small closed tears to upper edge). Note: scarce. This is the first appearance of Freud’s work as an illustrator. The artist was twenty-one when the founder of the Grey Walls Press- Charles Wrey Gardiner- commissioned Freud. However, Gardiner disliked the golem-like figure and regretted asking him. This was a year before Freud worked on the illustrations for ‘The Glass Tower’ by Nicholas Moore.
Estimate: £800 – £1,200
