About This Item
2003. LALANNE, François-Xavier. Bestaire Ordinaire; Bestaire Necessaire; Bestaire Legendaire. 3 Volumes. Illustrated by François-Xavier Lalanne with 36 prints using a different technique such as aquatint, etching or lithography. Folio. 380 x 285 mm, loose in publisher's wrappers and slipcase. Paris: Les Presses de Serendip, 2003-2006. An immaculate set of the three fabulous bestiaries created by François-Xavier Lalanne in collaboration with Patrick Mauries at les Presses de Serendip. The illustrations are the work of Francois-Xavier Lalanne, half of the legendary duo known as Les Lalanne, although they rarely collaborated on individual pieces, and as here, François-Xavier preferred to create pieces inspired by the animal kingdom, while Claude favoured the botanical. Bestaire Ordinaire is number 30 of 63 copies, with the plates and the colophon initialled by Lalanne. Bestaire Legendaire is Number 30 of 63 copies, with the plates and the colophon initialled by Lalanne. Bestaire Necessaire is number 35 of 63 copies, with the plates and the colophon initialled by Lalanne. A fine set.
