The second edition of Edward James’ privately-published collection of poems. The Next Volume is beautifully illustrated by Rex Whistler. Edith Olivier writes in her diary in 1932 – “Rex is making drawings for some poems by a Mr James – the best drawings I have seen of his in some ways. Such a sure touch. An amusing one of New York – skyscrapers towering over a park in which the trees look like cabbages. It has great beauty.”. James halted the binding of the first edition because “of how awful that first poem [At the Grave of Shelley] was”.
