AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent exemplar of Pêcheurs des quatre mers, by Roger Vercel, a prominent work devoted to the world of fishing, fishermen, and maritime life, abundantly illustrated by three important French artists specializing in naval and maritime themes: Mathurin Méheut, Marin-Marie, and Albert Brenet.
The work stands out especially for its extraordinary graphic quality. It contains numerous color and black-and-white illustrations, with scenes of fishermen, ships, ports, fish, and various activities related to sea fishing.
Among the illustrations, the magnificent color plate by Marin-Marie stands out in particular, which is preserved in excellent condition and shows a scene of sailing vessels. There are also numerous compositions by Mathurin Méheut, recognizable by his distinctive signature and his remarkable ability to portray the life and work of fishermen.
The book’s colophon itself states that the printing was completed in December 1957, at the presses of Imprimerie Moderne in Nantes, Beuchet & Vanden Brugge.
Condition
Very good condition.
The copy is very clean and very well preserved, both internally and in the illustrated pages. The paper presents a lovely natural tone typical of the era, and the illustrations retain excellent intensity and definition.
