About This Item
Lausanne: Mermod , 1927. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine. Bischoff, Henry. Although published in 1926 in a French magazine, this is the first French-language edition in book form. Translated by M. Sachs and with a preface by Jean Cocteau. Illustrated with woodcuts by Henry Bischoff including 6 plates coloured by hand. The edition was limited to only 262 copies, of which 30 were hors commerce, 20 of these being printed on Auvergne a la cuve and numbered in Roman numerals from xii to xxxi. This is one such example. Full leather gilt with raised bands at the spine and decorated, colour-dyed covers, t.e.g and elaborate decorations to the pastedowns, untrimmed. An extraordinary contemporary binding in decorative slipcase with leather trim at the fore-edges. The original green wrappers are bound-in and thus perfectly preserved. The binding is firm and in Fine condition. Very occasional and single spots internally, minor off-setting from a couple of the coloured plates. An impressive example of this early 20th Century classic.
