AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A deluxe version of this satirical livre d’artiste published in Brussels by the dealer and publisher Isy Brachot Fils, and illustrated by the Belgian artist Jean Dratz.
This is one of only 50 copies which are on Annam de Rives. (The edition was 1,500 copies.)
The book comes with a full suite of the illustrations in colour, and a second suite in b/w. This should also come with an original watercolour - but this is no longer present.
Orange / red slipcase, with a little rubbing but no major damage. Cream faux vellum folder containing the soft covered book and two suites. The wrapper of the book is covered in glassine. There is a small hole in the glassine (presumably where a sticker has been removed). Otherwise immaculate. The text itself is loose in gathers, with Dratz's colour illustrations throughout.
243 [iii], pp. 27 x 23.5 cm.
