Paris (France)

First edition on ordinary paper and one of the rare copies without mention of the edition, there were only 13 on pure wire on large paper.
Light foxing in the margins of the boards.
Pleasant and rare copy complete with its no less rare advertising band: “Sisyphe ou le bonheur au enfers” “Sisyphus or happiness in hell” which has a tear and small signs of wear in the folds.
Rare and sought after.

First edition of the French translation, of which there were no deluxe copies.
Very light rubbing to margins of covers.
