€ 5.500,00

First edition, no. 155 of 300 numbered copies, signed by George Gershwin and the illustrator Constantin Alajalov.

A deluxe collection of eighteen songs with printed words and music, accompanied by Alajalov’s bold Art Deco illustrations. Issued with Gershwin’s "Mischa, Yascha, Toscha, Sascha" as separate sheet music in the publisher’s pocket on the rear pastedown.

A handsome production of the early 1930s, capturing in book form the repertoire that carried Gershwin’s theatre and jazz idiom into the broader American cultural mainstream.
