Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Imagine a book about a man who planted trees in an edition that itself comes from a tree, for this magnificent volume is covered with the bark of the mulberry tree. Imagine also an ancient and enchanted land in the south of France. The Vaucluse inspired Jean Giono to write this book and the renowned photographer, Martine Franck, to create five hauntingly beautiful photogravures of scenes from that magical land. Andre Malraux called Giono (1895-1970) one of the greatest writers of our generation. Inspired by God or Pan, perhaps Giono s hero in this story expresses humanity s ancient kinship with the earth and reverence for all living things. The original French text alternates, line by line, with the English translation. Five photogravures by Martine Franck. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each book signed by Martine Franck. The complex photogravure process, in which a photographic image is transferred to a copper plate using gelatin coated paper, can reveal subtleties that even the photographer had not seen in the negative. The book is covered with mulberry bark and the Nigerian goatskin spine has the title stamped in 22-karat gold. The lined slipcase is covered in black Italian cotton. One volume, 14 x 17 inches. As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS). Signed by Illustrator(s).
