Folding broadside, printed on yellow l'aiglon paper. Copper engraving by David Ruff. 12.8x10.2 (5x4"), unfolds to 33.2x10.2 cm. (13x4"). One of 50 copies.

Rare first issue of Jonathan Williams' occasional periodical Jargon, signed by Williams and illustrator/printer David Ruff. This copy has been neatly tipped to the rear pastedown of a copy of Holly Beye's Do Keep Thee in the Stoney Bowes, one of 150 copies signed by Beyes (this copy inscribed to William Wilke with his ownership signature). The book was printed by David Ruff at about the same time as he printed Jargon I, and on the same yellow paper. The insertion of Jargon I in the book has enabled it to maintain it's pristine condition. OCLC/WorldCat lists only six copies in institutional libraries; no copy has ever sold at auction or through the trade, as far we have been able to determine. Jaffe 4.
