Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. stapled pamphlet: 24 pages, plus 4 leaves of high-quality monochrome plates at the rear. Compiled by Philip James. A highly specialized checklist mapping out 162 historic entries of French book illustration surviving the catastrophe of the Second World War. Printed impeccably on premium paper by the legendary Curwen Press, Plaistow. Condition is Fine—an extraordinary survival for a fragile post-war paper pamphlet. Text block is structurally tight, perfectly sharp-cornered, clean, and bright all round with no modern handling wear or foxing. Crucially, this is a vital foundation-tier association copy showing the origins of David Chambers' personal collecting library, featuring his pristine early youth signature to the top of the front cover verso: 'David J. Chambers 1st May 1948.' A museum-grade typographical rarity with flawless book-collecting pedigree. NB: David Chambers was the Honorary Publications Secretary for the Private Libraries Association, and a British historian of note. This historic 1945 catalogue was published by the newly formed Arts Council of Great Britain (previously C.E.M.A.) to re-introduce the British public to the magnificent, resilient survival of French graphic avant-garde publishing. Featuring a monumental preface by the legendary economist and arts patron John Maynard Keynes, the text chronicles how French printmakers, text layout artists, and painters courageously kept the livre d'artiste movement alive under the crushing constraints of the Nazi occupation. Includes the iconic 1931 Pablo Picasso etching plate from Balzac's Le Chef-d'œuvre. (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).…
