Description from the seller
This is a beautifully crafted, limited-edition printing of Longus's classic pastoral romance, Daphnis et Chloé. Published by Pierre de Tartas, this edition is highly regarded for its physical beauty and artistic execution.
The text is brought to life by the delicate and flowing original lithographs of Paul Dauce. Printed in earthy, sepia-toned hues, his romantic illustrations perfectly capture the idyllic and mythological atmosphere of the Isle of Lesbos, where the story is set.
Beyond the illustrations, the true masterpiece of this volume is its spectacular binding. The front cover features a deeply pressed, tactile embossing of the two lovers entwined in classical foliage. Protected by its original marbled slipcase, this beautifully preserved volume on thick Grand Vélin de Lana paper is an exceptional find for collectors of classic mythology, mid-century French printing, and unique fine bindings.
