Montesquiou, Robert de Le Parcours du rêve au souvenir. Paris, Georges Richard, 1908. XV, 476 pp., 1 leaf. Large 8°. Dark blue full morocco with rich gilding on the spine and covers in Art Nouveau style, blind-embossed corner fleurons with passion flowers. Richly gilded morocco lining with multicoloured inlays and blind-embossed passion flowers in horror vacui. Endpapers of striped silk and handmade marbled paper, three-sided gilt edges. In a marbled and lined slipcase (the latter slightly scuffed). Second expanded edition. – Unnumbered copy of the special edition on Japanese paper, signed by the author in the colophon and designated as an author’s copy. A further 12 numbered copies of the special edition were published (GA 512). - The magnificent Art Nouveau binding, which, surprisingly, is unsigned, can be attributed to Charles Meunier, who created several similar bindings for the special editions. - The portrait of the author by Laszlo mentioned on the title page refers to the first volume of the series.
