About This Item

Paris: Hachette, 1950. The first Babar book to be created by Laurent de Brunhoff, after the death of his father. Early (but not first) edition. Green boards with black spine. The boards are a little bumped and with some edgewear, but sound. Internally a clean copy. The binding is quite shaken, with the book falling open easily in a couple of places - but still holding. A repair has been made using archival tape to the front end paper / title page. Neat gift inscription to the colophon. Internally clean and tidy, with the colours still bright. 48 pages. 370 by 270mm (14½ by 10¾ inches). . Le premier livre de Babar créé par Laurent de Brunhoff, après la mort de son père. Première édition (mais pas la première). Carton vert, dos noir. Les planches sont un peu bosselées et présentent quelques traces d'usure sur les bords, mais elles sont saines. L'intérieur est propre. La reliure est assez secouée, le livre s'ouvrant facilement à quelques endroits, mais il tient encore. Une réparation a été effectuée à l'aide de ruban adhésif d'archivage sur la page de garde / page de titre. Une inscription de cadeau soignée figure au colophon. L'intérieur est propre et bien rangé, avec des couleurs encore vives. 48 pages. 370 x 270 mm.
