Beschreibung

First edition with the illustrations by Roubille, one of 15 copies with all the wood engravings present in a signed suite on chine.Fayard's Livres de Demain brought examples of the current revival in woodcut and wood engraving to a wide audience at a reasonable price. Accordingly, the illustrations of the regular volumes were printed in large numbers from phototype metal blocks made from the prints, with just 15 copies of each (as here) presented with an additional suite of the original woodcuts specially printed on fine paper. The series was very popular and ran for several years, with some titles reprinted in successive editions. 4to (232 × 175 mm), pp. 126, [2]. 22 illustrations, plus a suite of the 22 original numbered wood engravings on chine, all initialled by the artist. Some foxing to extreme margins in text. Original yellow decorative wrappers and wrappers to the suite preserved, in contemporary marbled boards with orange morocco geometric onlays (minor wear).
