Description
Jean-Émile Laboureur (1877–1943)
Small illustrations of the war on the British front. Paris, Vernant, 1916. A booklet, 235 x 290 mm, containing 9 chiselled engravings (Laboureur 144–152), preceded by a ‘Letter on the spectacles of war’ by Roger Allard. Very fine final proofs with the number and title engraved at the bottom of the plate, on a sheet of thin, re-sized white vellum, bearing the typographed title on the front cover, numbered in pencil in the lower right-hand corner of the plate. One of 120 copies, numbered and signed by the artist in pen and ink upon completion of printing. Enclosed: a leaflet announcing the work, on a sheet of white, re-sized vellum illustrated with the fourth engraving from the series, showing oxidation caused by the ‘serpente’ process. A cover of heavy vellum with a typographed title on the top cover and the edition’s portfolio, with marbled paper covers and a title label on the top cover (slightly faded).
Expert: Hélène BONAFOUS-MURAT.
