One of the 50 reprinted copies, this one in a signed binding in full green morocco. Paris, A. Ferroud – F. Ferroud, 1920. In-8, full morocco in a coarse, spinach-green grain, ribbed spine decorated with gilt title, gilt inner frieze, double gilt fillet at the cuts, guilloché caps, gilt edges on a guard, covers with colour vignettes and spine intact. Binding signed ‘Pinardon’. 187 pp., 27 colour woodcuts, including a frontispiece. Spine slightly sun-faded, some slight wear and scuffing from handling, a discreet stain on the second cover. An edition with ornate text on every page and illustrated with 27 engravings after Adolphe Giraldon (1855–1933). Limited edition of 1,050 copies; this is one of the 50 additional copies reprinted in in-8 format on large-size Arches vellum (no.

All of Adolphe Giraldon’s compositions were wood-engraved by Ernest-Pierre Deloche (1861–1950), best known for having designed several banknotes for the Banque de France and the Banque d’Indochine. In very good condition, in a simple and elegant binding by [signature].
