Description
CYRANO DE BERGERAC, Savinien de. The Other World. The States and Empires of the Moon. The States and Empires of the Sun. A History of Birds. Text edited by P. Bondois, with a preface by Émile Magne Clermont-Ferrand, Éditions des Moulins d’Auvergne, 1944. Small quarto in loose-leaf format, with a padded cover, slipcase and box, 316 pp., illustrated with 15 etchings by Maurice de Becque. Copy no. 205, containing a series of etchings in sepia. A fine illustrated edition of one of Cyrano de Bergerac’s great works, a precursor to the philosophical tale and speculative fiction, in a carefully crafted bibliophilic presentation, sought after both for the quality of Maurice de Becque’s illustrations and for the completeness of the copies preserved in a slipcase and box. Very good condition. Expert: Mr Geoffroi PICARD DU CHAMBON
