Erasmus’s In Praise of Folly, copy no. 7526 from a series of 8,000 numbered copies, published not for sale in 1957 for members of the French Book Club.

In Michel Léturmy’s translation, the text is accompanied by drawings after Holbein, printed in red in the margins, and reproductions of old pages. Pierre Faucheux’s layout combines these illustrations with Baskerville type on Sirène offset paper. The volume was printed on March 13, 1957, by Paul Dupont in Paris, then bound by Engel in Malakoff.

The black-grained binding features a portrait on the front cover and a red title on the spine. The red ribbon bookmark is present. The book appears to be in good condition, with minor rubbing to the corners and near the headcap, as well as light marks on the cover. The pages shown are generally clean.
