VOORSLAG MAGAZINE - FOUR ORIGINAL ISSUES WITH TWO LETTERS & ORIGINAL PRESS CUTTINGS

This lot comprises four original issues in the original wraps of the important and scarce South African literary magazine Voorslag. Accompanying these issues are two original typed letters signed on Voorslag letterheads to a Mr L. Caplan,  acknowledging receipt of an article submitted for possible publication and the second rejecting and returning it. The first letter is signed by Maurice Webb (as Editor - see below). Also included are a handful or very browned and friable July 1926 press cuttings (see below for comment). The issues in this lot are:

 - Vol.1 No.2  - July 1926. (When Roy Campbell, William Plomer & Laurens van der Post were still the Editorial Board). Containing two articles by Campbell and one each by Plomer and van der Post. 

 - Vol. 1 No. 4 - September 1926. 

 - Vol. 1 No.7 - December 1926. Containing articles by Pauline Smith and others.

 - Vol.1 No. 11 - May - July 1927 (The last issue). 

Condition: The oversized wraps are a little frayed at the edges as is inevitable in this series. However, all four issues are tightly bound, clean, unmarked and without foxing. A very good set. The two letters have some mild edge fraying and tears and the folded press cuttings are browned, friable and a bit frayed.
