Manuscript note by Saint-André: this binding was probably presented at the Salon of French artists at the Grand Palais Beaux-Arts at the Champs-élysées it was probably not submitted to the competition and to the members of the jury. Moreover, a note on the manuscript written by the artist on a broad-sheet explains the meaning of the central pattern of the first cover. Very light repair on the foot of a joint.
Exceptional Andalusian inspired Art Nouveau binding presented at the Salon of French artists.
