Some spotting and light foxing, but a good copy in the original binding. With the signature of Joanna La Tourette Mairs, dated 1915 [New York, 1891-1983]. First published in Munich in 1912, this was the first English translation by the young novelist, bibliographer and book collector Michael Sadleir (1888-1957) who had visited Kandinsky in Germany in 1913. It was simultaneously published in London by Constable in 1914. It has been described as "the first coherent arguments for abstract art in the English language and the translation by Sadleir was seen as both crucial in understanding Kandinsky's theories about abstract and a key text in the history of modernism".
