Engraved full-page frontispieces in both volumes. 92 copper-plate engravings (16 in full-page) preceded by double page manuscript letter in facsimile by Van de Meersch.

Printed wrappers, volumes both encased in original cloth-backed paperboards, vol.

He first published Corps et Âmes in 1943 earning him the grand prize of the French Academy for that year. The novel was an international success; it was translated into 13 languages and was first illustrated here in this copy of 1944. Notably, the Brussels edition (of the same year) was printed in color. Corps et Âmes centered around the ideas of a celebrated doctor, Dr. Paul Carton (1875-1947), for whom Van der Meersch had a profound admiration. Carton emphasized the importance of cleanliness and good day-to-day living. Van der Meersch's central character is Professor Doutreval, a father and renowned physician, who is raising his three children alone. The multiplicity of characters and places in the novel is contrasted by the continuous raw ambition and selfishness of Doutreval. Van der Meersch's depiction has all the memory of an era where reputation and results are sometimes conceived at the expense of human beings. His work, original and modern, began to facilitate important contemporary questions about the place of medicine and family in our society. The fine engravings remain extraordinarily fresh and bright, a beautiful, complete set with a fine association with the artist.…
