AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating original edition in its beautiful blue-gray percaline by the publisher of this joint work by Léo Claretie and Auguste Vimar, which vividly and finely illustrates one of the legendary episodes of ancient Rome, when the sacred geese of the Capitoline warned the Romans of the Gaulish attack -
This narrative, both historical and symbolic, is transposed into a book aimed at young readers, where Claretie's text, imbued with narrative liveliness and pedagogical clarity, harmonizes with the charming and whimsical illustrations by Vimar, an artist renowned for his animal artistry and his graphic humor -
