PIERRE L'ÉBOURIFFÉ. [STRUWWELPETER].

[HOFFMANN, Heinrich]. Translated by Trim.

Verlag: Librairie Fischbacher, Paris, nd.

Beschreibung

French translation (1880s?), with hand coloured illustrations throughout. Moderate dustiness and browning to paper covered boards particularly on the front, which has a few small faint stains. Rear board is decorated with adverts to other publications, the front board copies the title page and is also hand coloured. Red cloth spine. The end papers are particularly fragile, the front hinge is cracked and the front free endpaper has torn away a little from the staples but is still fully attached. Very good. Acquired from Maud Lloyd, an admired leading dancer with Ballet Rambert in the 1930s. Later she wrote, with her husband, Nigel Gosling, influential dance books and reviews under the pseudonym, 'Alexander Bland'. When Rudolph Nureyev defected in 1961, they became his surrogate parents.
