Originally serialized in The Egoist (1914–1915) at the urging of Ezra Pound, British publishers initially proved hesitant, and the novel first appeared in book form in New York in 1916. The Egoist Press republished it in the United Kingdom in 1917 and Jonathan Cape would then take over at the fourth printing (1924), resetting the type. Early impressions of Portrait remain increasingly difficult to obtain, particularly in original dust jackets. \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 align=\"left\"\u003eLondon: Jonathan Cape, 1928.
