Description
The Michaux Collection of Georgette and Jacques-Olivier Fourcade. 1923–1965. 34 volumes, in green paper slipcases designed by Clara Gevaert. A collection of thirty-four volumes presented by Henri Michaux to his friends, the Fourcades: it includes, in particular, the two books edited by Jacques-Olivier Fourcade, *Mes propriétés* and *Nous deux encore*, each featuring magnificent dedications to… Georgette. All the volumes have been preserved in paperback, as originally published, and have been placed in ingenious green paper slipcases with sliding lids by the Belgian bookbinder Clara Gevaert. The thirty-four cases together form a magnificent and imposing set, adorned with an intaglio design comprising the letters of the two names arranged head-to-toe: “Michaux” and “Fourcade”.
