AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very carefully crafted edition by La Compagnie Typographique in 1950, printed in only 88 copies on vellum from the Forme paper mill of Rives. This one bears the number 23, printed for Maxime Katz.
The composition was made with the newly drawn typeface by Alberto Tallone, engraved by Charles Malin, and cast by Radiguer in Paris.
Elegant binding signed by Bellevallée in full pearl gray cloth, with the publisher's mark stamped in black on the front cover. Covers preserved (without the spine). In excellent condition, both inside and out (two yellow stains on the endpapers). Very beautiful publication.
Prayer on the Acropolis by Ernest Renan actually constitutes chapter II of his Memories of childhood and youth, published in 1883. Renan discusses his discovery of Greece during a trip in 1865.
