Limited edition and the first illustrated, one of 51 copies (this being no. 34) on papier hollande (from a total edition of 582); 4to (32.5 x 27 cm); illustrated with 24 original engravings after Lobel-Riche in three states, an extra suite of 12 of the plates in three states and an additional signed pen ink drawing, three pages of manuscript notes by Pierre Benoit entitled 'l'Art du Romanicer'; unbound as issued with original publisher's wrappers, in a later orange marbled slipcase.
Provenance: G.B. (sticker to inside of wrapper cover). With an original drawing by Lobel-Riche and manuscript essay from Pierre Benoit.
L'Atlantide was originally published in 1919 and shortly became a huge success, winning the Grand Prize of the Academie Francaise the same year. Its popularity was largely attributed to the welcome escape Benoit's passionate and exotic novel gave to those suffering from the horrors of WWI.
