Poetry collection Collection

C. P. Cavafy,
Poetry collection by Cavafy, comprising 69 bound broadsheets; they were printed at the Kasimatis & Ionas printing house in the period 1918-1922. It contains 60 poems, sequentially numbered (2-60) at top right of the recto of the sheets. The numbering is printed, corrected on several instances in ink by the poet. Cancellations and emendations or additions by Cavafy in some of the poems. The verso of all sheets is blank. A hole at top left of the recto of all sheets indicates that they were initially bound using a paperclip. There is no front cover (although it appears that it originally existed), rear cover or table of contents. The paper is of varying colour and quality. Some of the broadsheets also have an annotation of the particular month in which they were printed (June, July, September, December 1919; June, August, October, December 1920; March, June, September, December 1921; February 1922).
