ALFRED JARRY - UBU ROI - 1966 GABERBOCCHUS PRESS - FRANCISZKA THEMERSON

Description: ALFRED JARRY - UBU ROI - 1966 GABERBOCCHUS PRESS Illustrated by Franciszka Themerson In good condition Gaberbocchus Press, Ubu Roi, by Alfred Jarry, 3rd edition (1966), which is a paperback reproduction of the original 1st (1951) Edition. The 2nd edition, produced for the US, was in black and white and then the third edition (and this reprint of which) repeated the original edition's black and red on grey and yellow paper. It was the anarchic theatrical experience of Ubu Roi that Gaberbocchus Press sought to portray in the presentation of the book, making its design as subversive as its text. Barbara Wright was persuaded to adopt the unconventional technique of writing her text by hand on lithographic plates, on which Franciszka Themerson later made her drawings. This, together with the yellow paper on which the book is printed, gives a suitably anarchic appearance to match the text. It has been described as 'undoubtedly the most acclaimed book of the Gaberbocchus Press', and is radical both in its choice of text, as the first English edition of the play, and in the design of the book.
