Description
DESCAVES Lucien: Ronge-Maille vainqueur. Librairie Ollendorff Paris 1920. First edition illustrated with 31 wood-engraved compositions by Lucien Laforge. In this anti-bellicose pamphlet, Lucien Descaves uses, in the manner of La Fontaine, the figure of the (battlefield) rat to denounce the horrors of the Great War. The work should have appeared in 1917, but was banned by the censors. Edition of 1000 copies, this one of 969 on cream laid paper. Paperback in-4, good condition
