BYNNER, Witter

Tiger

New York: Mitchell Kennerley, 1913. First Edition. First printing. 12mo. Red cloth hardcover, titled in gilt on spine; 48pp. Straight, tight, and unmarked with just a touch of dusting to boards; Near Fine, lacking the rare dustjacket. A nice copy of Bynner's second published book, a one-act drama set in a brothel off Times Square. The play excited some controversy, with a contemporary New York Times reviewer noting, "Mr. Bynner's intentions are obviously of the highest, but a discussion of the play's artistic value would involve the question of the truth or falsity of its premises, and such a discussion would plainly be out of place in these columns..."
