A ‘unique’ first edition printed on pearlescent Japanese paper, illustrated with ten original lithographs by Emile Grau Sala, complete with its black-and-white suite on China paper and its original signed watercolour. This copy is further enhanced by a dedicatory inscription and two pen-and-ink drawings.
Paris, n.p., 1941.
Large quarto, loose-leaf, illustrated cover with filled-in details, aubergine half-basane slipcase and marbled cardboard boards, with a matching slipcase.
Unpaginated, ten full-page lithographic compositions.
Spine of the half-leather case sun-faded and showing signs of rubbing, as does the slipcase.
A rare first edition illustrated with ten original, full-colour lithographs by Emile Grau Sala (1911–1975). Preface by Pierre Espil.
Limited edition of 70 copies; this is the sole copy on pearlescent Japanese paper containing a black-and-white suite of the illustrations on Chinese paper, signed in graphite by the artist, and an original watercolour by the same artist.
