The first edition, first issue of Eliot's second poetry collection was only published in about 200 copies. They were hand-printed by Virginia and Leonard Woolf at the Hogarth Press. Leonard Woolf said of the collection that “The publication of T. S. Eliot's Poems must be marked as a red letter day for the Press and for us. . . . I never tired and still do not tire of those lines which were a new note in poetry and came from the heart of the Eliot of those days”. The first issues were published with a label with red print as the one here presented. Reference: Gallup A3
