London: Privately Published, 1941. First Edition. Octavo, 19 pages, publisher's original stapled wraps. Written by Lady Frieda Harris from notes provided by Aleister Crowley. This catalog features the design of 'The Magician' on the front wrap. This pamphlet was printed for the exhibition that was planned for June 7th - 21st, 1941 at the Nicholson Gallery (Nicholson & Venn) in Oxford. Nicholson & Venn withdrew from the agreement to hold the exhibition at the last minute, and Frieda Harris was forced to move it to a room in the Randolph Hotel. The lower part of the title page which contained the gallery's address was clipped either by Crowley or Harris to remove Nicholson & Venn's information so that they could be reused. The staples are a little rusty. Minor wear, else in very good + condition. Item #399
