Description from the seller
ISTRATI, Panaït
La Maison Thüringer, Les Éditions Rieder, Paris, 1933, 1 volume, 271 pp. Original edition numbered. One of 160 copies numbered on alfa mousse, copy no. 43.
Le Bureau de placement, Les Éditions Rieder, Paris, 1933, 1 volume, 260 pp. Original edition numbered. One of 170 copies numbered on alfa mousse, copy no. 32.
In-12. Half crushed morocco binding with corners, spine with five nerves, title and gilded letters, with the initials H.-D. F. of binder Henri-Dominique Furois struck at the tail. Gilded top edge. Original cover preserved. Ex-libris "Samen Aqua Touça" by Gérard Gully. Bookplate preserved.
Traces of wear on the boards and the spine. Paneling of the spine but giving the leather a uniform patina. Slight epidermures on the spine. Corners and headcaps rubbed. Joints very slightly worn.
Interior clean and fresh. Pages slightly yellowed.
Gérard Gully was a French bibliophile known in the circle of collectors of rare books and original editions. His books are recognizable by his personalized ex-libris depicting him as Don Quixote, accompanied by the parodic motto in Alsatian/slang: "samen aqua touça".
Besides his interest in major 20th‑century authors (such as Henry de Montherlant), he was a great admirer and passionate collector of Panait Istrati's work.
Henri-Dominique Furois is a renowned French bindery artist noted for his original creations, contemporary structures and the care given to precious editions and major texts of the 20th century.
A rare and precious pairing bringing together two original editions of Panait Istrati published by Rieder in 1933 in very low edition numbers. The set has been luxuriously encased in a half-leather binding with corners and a personalized tail stamp, testifying to the care bestowed by a bibliophile on this collection. A top-choice piece for a discerning collector.
Dimensions (cm): 18.2 x 12.5 x 2.2
Weight (kg): 0.745
