About this Item

241 pages. Originally published in wrappers in a board slipcase, although currently in a handsome deep brown leather binding with gold stamping. Slipcase has significant wear and soiling, and has been "repaired" with numerous pieces of adhesive tape. But the binding is quite handsome and sharp, done at an unknown time by the Houston binder A. V. Emmott & Sons, whose discreet stamp remains on the inside rear cover. Previous owner's name is neatly stamped in red on the limitation page, but otherwise, there are no internal markings. Number 276 in a limited edition of 800 copies. Twenty full page charming lithographic illustrations by Berthommé Saint-André still have their archival paper covers. Text, other than (strangely enough) the dedication, is in French. Seller Inventory # 020184
