Description from the seller
Internationally praised for its art nouveau–influenced style, clean lines, and historically accurate costumes, this work is often cited as one of the most beautiful children’s books of the 19th century!
This original 1896 first edition of "Jeanne d'Arc" illustrated by M. Boutet de Monvel contains 47 stunning colour chromo-lithographs.
Decorative oblong cloth binding. Upper right corner slightly bent.
Inner side of front cover with remnants of old label.
A very good copy.
Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel (Orleans 1850 – Paris 1913) was a French painter and illustrator best known for his water-colours for children's books..
Born in Orléans, the subject of Jeanne d'Arc ("the Virgin of Orleans") must have been very dear to his heart.
His book on her life, for which he created both the text for children and the lithographs is considered his masterpiece. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in children’s book illustrations of the 19th century
A stunning example of a medieval inspired Art Nouveau style.
