About this Item

ONE OF 300 COPIES (from an edition of 355 copies) on Velin d'Arches rag paper, this copy unnumbered, 53 ornaments and illustrations by Peter Forster printed in grey, ff. [72], folio, original quarter dark blue morocco, backstrip gilt lettered, patterned pale blue boards, tail edges untrimmed, a few small specks to the tail of pale grey boards slipcase, the book itself fine. The translator also set the type. Forster's illustrations use sculptural forms in a playful, and occasionally suggestive, way. The quarter bound morocco and full cloth versions both fall within the same limitation, but one would presume the former to be smaller in number.
