D.H. Lawrence's provacative and erotic poem Fig first appeared in Birds, Beasts and Flowers in 1923. It achieved notoriety when it was used in a memorable scene in Ken Russell's film Women in Love . It is stunningly presented here with wonderful use of spacing for the text and luscious illustration. A sensual and and beautiful piece of printing.
