Item description from seller

Limited Edition. Hardcover. "These three poems by Elsa Koeberlé, published under the pseudonyms of Sybil, Sybil O'Santry or Sybil O'Connor, were composed in her youth before she left Alsace. It was at the end of 1915 that Elsa Koeberlé discovered the Saint-André Abbey in Villeneuve lez Avignon which would become the setting for her existence from 1916 to her death in 1950. Gustave Fayet bought the abbey from her and with her friend, the painter Génia Lioubow, they devoted their lives to restoring it and in particular to creating the Italian-inspired garden. In 2020, the paths of Elsa Koeberlé and Judith Rothchild crossed when the artist had the pleasure of being "in residence" in this garden which was then in full maturity and to execute the large format drawings then the engravings. Judith Rothchild and Verdigris editions exhibited at the abbey in September 2020. The three poems are accompanied by four mezzotint engravings by Judith Rothchild, made from sketches made at the Abbey. The engravings, printed on Hahnemulhe paper, as well as the linocuts on the covers were printed by the artist." [publisher's statement] Printed by Mark Lintott on a Vandercook N°4 press. He also made the boxes and cases. Number 25/25 is reserved for the Bibliothèque de France. Tight, bright, and unmarred. Black cloth spine, printed green paper boards, bookplate, accordion fold; matching slipcase with mezzotint block recessed. 8vo. np. Illus. (b/w plates). Numbered limited edition of 25, this being 3. 1-5 being 'deluxe' copies and including an original copy plate built into the box. Signed by the artist and printer.…
