AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Full title: "Aventures nouvelles et mervellieuses de Petit Poucet. Contes pour les petits enfants sages"
A retelling of the Hop-o'-My-Thumb tale.
Soft covers, with lovely hand painted illustration to the front cover, heightened with gold paint to the leaves. Slightly darkened covers and a crease to the rear cover corner. The paper inside is a little darkened and brittle, the first few pages have loss to the corners. The title is particularly darkened.
Hand coloured vignette to the title. Ten lovely coloured illustrations on higher quality paper. These appear to the hand coloured, but possibly a high quality print. There are vignettes throughout the book have blue detail added by hand. One page has had major tears to it. These have now been repaired with archival tape (see photograph).
Overall, a delicate but rare item. We have been unable to locate any other copies of this book. None for sale, and no WorldCat records, no auction records. We can just find a mention of the work on the Wikipedia entries for the author and illustrator.
76 (+ plates) pages. 31 x 21.5 cm
Émile Berchmans (1867–1947), was a Belgian painter, draughtsman, illustrator, and engraver. He was above all one of the main Belgian poster artists at the turn of the 20th century.
Rodolphe de Warsage was the pseudonym of Edmond Schoonbroodt (1876-1940), who was a Liège lawyer and author of novels, poetry, stories and plays.
