New edition of the French translation illustrated with 70 original color lithographs by Maurice Denis, one of 204 copies on Holland paper, ours unnumbered, the only issue after 35 Japan and 20 other Holland hors commerce copies.
Handsome copy despite very occasional worming.
The work has the peculiarity of being dated 1939 on the front cover, dated 1936 on the title page and dated 1942 on the colophon page.
The 70 lithographs break down as follows: 13 full-page in color, 2 in color in the text and the others in black, in blue or in 2 tones.
Our copy is complete, at the end, with the double-page table of lithographs hors-texte.

Text preceded by a biographical notice on the author by Wilfrid Meynell.
Occasional foxing, a pale dampstain affecting the central gathering at the sewing.

First edition of the French translation, one of 950 numbered copies on alfa paper, the only printing along with 75 on pure thread paper.
