AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hermann Paul. Treize Fables.
Liège, éditions du Balancier (printed in Brussels by J.-E. Goossens, 1928). Folio-oblong (260 x 335 mm) [IV] p. + 13 plates.
With 13 large woodcut plates by Hermann Paul, each wrapped in a china paper wrapper, with a cynical printed text on the upper side.
Loose as issued in back-fold paper wrapper with printed title and printer's mark on the upper cover.
Issued in 63 copies only
On Montval laid paper, our copy is unnumbered.
Hermann Paul (1864-1940) was a French caricaturist and illustrator. He worked in many techniques, but after World War I mainly in woodcut. His inspirations became in this period more literary than journalistic. His style evolved from a Belle Époque line to a modernist simplification, of which the Treize Fables is a very good example.
—Literature: Carteret V, p. 104; Monod 5958.
-Condition: The china paper wrapper of no. 11 is missing; the other china paper wrappers are slightly damaged along the edges; binding slightly soiled and with some small stains; some offsetting of the cardboard in the binding on the first and last leaf; plates show some unobtrusive small stains but overall the woodcuts are in very fine condition.
