L'enfer de Treblinka
[The Hell of Treblinka]
B. Arthaud|Grenoble • Paris 1945|12.90 x 18.80 cm|relié
Extremely rare first edition of the French translation, one of 50 copies on vélin à la forme, the only deluxe issue. Peculiar false statement of 4th edition on the cover, which turns out to be printed on the entire run and common to almost all titles published by Arthaud that year.
Red half shagreen binding, spine with five raised bands outlined with gilt dotted lines and twice framed in gilt, decorative patterned paper boards, first cover preserved, fuchsia marbled endpapers, speckled top edge.
Minor foxing to the cover, otherwise a very nice uncut copy.
We enclose, in original wrappers as issued, the second French edition of the translation, printed in 1966 by the same publisher, complete with its publisher's wraparound band: “The book that revealed to the world the existence and horrors of the death camps. A harrowing document”.
