About This Item
Paris: Rene Kieffer, 1923. leather_bound. Orig. full two-toned brown leather, covers decorated in blind, backstrip lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. Teg. Fine. 54 pages. 24 x 19 cm. Limited edition, copy 95 of 500 on velin la forme with 45 vignettes in pochoir by Joseph Hemard. An exquisite copy bound by Kieffer with his label on verso of front cover paste-down. Hémard's lasting fame, however, lies in his book illustrations - always with a distinctly French character, usually comic, and often mildly erotic. He was probably the most prolific book illustrator in the first half of the twentieth century in France.
