AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Extremely rare "grand luxury" edition of Une Amitié amoureuse de Charles Rogier.
-Unique top-limited edition: only 5 copies printed in 1950 marked from A to E.
This is Copy No. D, one of the most exclusive versions of the booklet that exist. Still in very good condition!
-High-quality paper printed on luxe Arches paper with hand-colored illustrations, which are hand colored (les bois enluminés à la main) in the style of that time.
-Signed by the author: bottom-left signature of Marie Gevers herself and on the right the signature of the printer/director Camille Puylaert.
-Exclusive provenance (Provenance): The book was specifically printed for M. L. J. C. Lepage.
The fact that it is a personalized copy for a prominent person of that time increases its historical collectible value.
Background information of this edition:
The book was printed on 20 November 1950 by the Antwerp presses of V. Van Dieren & Co. under the direction of Camille Puylaert, for the account of the well-known bibliophile publishing house Éditions « Le Papegay » (recognizable by the vignette with a parrot in the middle).
It is adorned with ten original woodcuts that were originally used in 1847 by the well-known Antwerp printer J.E. Buschmann.
