Beschreibung

Printed on Lafuma paper, with each page printed in black line to designs by Edy Legrand and hand-coloured by pochoir by Jean Saude. Original pictorial covers, just a little chipped at the bottom edge. An unusually bright clean copy of a remarkable production. "In 1919, in rather a different vein, Edy Legrand wrote and illustrated Macao et Cosmage, for Editions de la Nouvelle Francaise. This was a large square book, printed in black line and stencilled colours, with a handwritten text. It is a gay, boldly drawn colourful book, whose rather mannered drawings are very much of their time. Macao et Cosmage was something quite new in cheap book production and made a lively contrast to insipid watercolours printed in three- or four-colour halftone or the repellent chromolithography still in use at that time. Nothing like this had appeared in England or the USA. (John Lewis in `The Twentieth Century Book'.). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2232
