No. 440 of 2500 copies on papier và lin du Marais. 8vo., in an elegant signed Art-Deco binding by Lucie Meyer Edgar-Faure of terracotta red and tan morocco with a demi-circular of blue, shagreen with borders of gilt, spine with raised bands, titled in gilt, turn-ins with thick gilt onlaid border, marbled endpapers, housed in the original terracotta morocco edged, marbled paper covered slipcase.
