Description
COCTEAU (Jean) and MARTIN (Charles). Cherish the reputation of your firm and the excellence of your goods, for if you deem them to be of high quality, your interests become the public interest. A prestigious advertising brochure printed by the Draeger brothers, featuring 11 plates of colour drawings by Charles Martin with captions by Jean Cocteau. Paris, Draeger, 1924. Folio (300x380 mm), paperback, publisher’s cover with a coloured typographic design. 1 blank page, 3 unnumbered pages (preface) and 11 colour plates by Charles Martin. Tears to the spine, wear to the edges of the cover. A rare booklet published and printed by the Draeger brothers to celebrate the graphic arts industry, one of the most prestigious advertising albums of the 1920s and 1930s. Introduced by a preface by Jean Coteau, it contains 11 loose colour plates, drawn by Charles Martin (1884–1934) in the pure Art Deco style, depicting the various contributors (the publicist, the writer, the illustrator, the lithographer, the engraver, the proofreader, the type founder...), each accompanied by Jean Coteau with a short caption in a quirky tone. ‘This catalogue is the perfect, unrivalled celebration of the publishing trades, as well as one of the most prestigious DRAEGER albums’ (Pages d’or de l’édition publicitaire, no. 82). Clean and fresh interior.
