Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Librairie Gedalge, Paris, 1934. Hardcover. 5e Série (indicating the 5th printing or series edition in the publisher's catalog, likely a reprint following earlier editions from the late 1920s). Printed by Imprimerie Chaix, 20 Rue Bergère, Paris, with imprint code 2471-2-34, denoting February 1934 produ…ction and first quarter 1934 legal deposit. This is a later printing of the original work (circa 1926-1927). In-4 (quarto) format, measuring 28 cm high x 19 cm wide x 4 cm thick, often described as "petit in-4" in bibliographic records, with 270 pages including front matter and rear table of contents. Features numerous black-and-white illustrations by H. Thiriet (Henri Thiriet, 1873-1946, a versatile French artist renowned for Art Nouveau posters, book engravings, and later civic murals). Illustrations vividly depict key scenes such as shipboard conversations, intense wildlife encounters, native villagers in traditional settings, caravan travels amid dangers, and high-stakes adventures, all in a detailed line-drawing style that heightens the story's exotic peril. This scarce vintage French juvenile adventure novel is tailored primarily for young readers, especially girls, but holds broad appeal for those drawn to colonial-era exploration narratives. The author, Mme L. Georges Renard (likely a pseudonym or married name for Louise Georges Renard, an underappreciated interwar French writer specializing in youth fiction that emphasizes themes of bravery, self-discovery, and moral development), weaves a thrilling story around protagonist Anne-Marie, a young French girl who finds herself lost in Africa's vast, unforgiving landscapes after a dramatic incident during her voyage aboard the steamship Albatros. Published by Librairie Gedalge (a respected Parisian house active from the late 19th to mid-20th century, known for educational and youth-oriented books as a competitor to Hachette's popular "Bibliothèque Rose" series), this edition captures the 1930s trend in French children's literature of romanticizing empire and exotic adventures to foster national pride and curiosity about colonial territories. As a collectible, the title remains uncommon in its early physical printings; while digital re-editions (e.g., the 1939 FeniXX reprint) are available, original 1920s-1930s copies like this are prized by enthusiasts of French bibliophily, colonial-themed literature, illustrated juveniles, or women's contributions to adventure genres. Condition: Fair to Good, appropriate for a nearly 90-year-old children's book subjected to typical use. Exterior shows the original red cloth faded to a softer pinkish tone in areas, with moderate soiling, scuffing, and rubbing from shelf life; geometric Art Deco designs on cover and spine are still discernible but dulled, with partial loss of gilt and silver detailing. Edges and corners are chipped and frayed (some wear through to underlying boards), while spine ends are bumped with small tears and minor material losses (1-2mm at head). No significant splits, though overall age-toning and light sun exposure are evident. Interior pages are yellowed with moderate foxing (brown age spots), scattered especially on edges and preliminaries, but no stains, creases, free of tears, underlining, or major defects. Binding remains tight and secure (no loose pages or signatures), with all 20+ illustrations present and sharp. Endpapers toned, featuring light foxing and a slight separation at the inner gutter in the middle of the book (hinges still firm, no cracking). Remarkably, no ownership inscriptions, bookplates, stamps, or other markings; interior is clean for its vintage. Odor-free, without mildew, pest issues, or structural weaknesses. A compelling piece for collections centered on French interwar literature, women's authorship in adventure stories, Art Deco book aesthetics, or colonial-era juvenilia. Particularly scarce in this precise 1934 5e Série printing, with limited market availability. Henri Thiriet (illustrator).
