About this Item
Folio (13 x 10"). [10], 26, [4]pp. Original printed wrappers, with burgundy lettering to front cover. Frontispiece. Splendidly illustrated throughout with 48 striking photographs reproduced in heliogravure, GĂ rard de Nerval's "Le Valois" is a testimony of his love and attachment for the Picardy region where the famed French writer and poet spent his childhood years. The ponds and forests of this region will forever mark his imagination and influence his work (particularily in "Sylvie"). To accompany the author's beautiful and lyrical text, Germaine Krull's stunning photographs captures the serenity, simple beauty, and various bucolic aspects of the Valois region. Wrappers rubbed, partly water-stained, age-toned along edges, with sporadic creasing and closed tears. Text in French. Wrappers in overall good, interior in good to very good condition. About the photographer: Germaine Luise Krull (1897-1985) was a celebrated photographer and political activist. Described as "an especially outspoken example" of a group of early 20th-century female photographers who "could lead lives free from convention," she is best known for photographically-illustrated books such as her 1928 portfolio "MĂ tal."
