Description
[COSTER (Germaine de)] The Fourteen Stations of the Cross. ‎[Paris] published by Germaine de Coster, 1933. In-12, simple signed binding in a brown box, decorated with a medallion cold-stamped in gold on the front cover depicting the 13th station (inverted), original speckled gold and silver cover preserved, top trimmed and gilt, edges gilt on endpapers, lined slipcase (Cretté). The work, printed on Japanese paper, is illustrated with five drawings, a black-and-white sequence and two detailed compositions. A unique edition limited to 100 numbered copies on Japanese paper, collated and signed by the artist; this particular copy is not numbered but is identified as Germaine de Coster’s copy on the collation page (in her own hand and signed). This delightful book was entirely produced, illustrated and laid out by Germaine de Coster. It features 14 original monochrome compositions engraved on threadwood using the Japanese method. Each of these engravings illustrates a station of the Cross. Our signed-bound volume has been substantially expanded to include additional sequences and original drawings. Binding shows signs of wear. Experts: Loup Axmann and Jean-Luc Boisseau
