AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful illustrated edition by Jacques Touchet of the play by Jules Romains, first performed in Paris at the Comédie des Champs-Élysées on December 15, 1923.
The illustration includes more than 70 humorous stencil-colored drawings. The cover is also illustrated.

Limited to 2,000 copies. One of the 1,590 numbered on Johannot pure cotton vellum, this one is No. 1857.

Pages, under a colored embossed illustrated cover and a double casing (cover + slipcase).

Well-preserved copy, entirely intact. Fresh interior, clean cover. The double slipcase is in very good condition (spine of the dust jacket worn).

Bitter comedy, Knock denounces manipulation, whether it concerns medicine or any ideology, just as with any business.
