This edition contains Don Quixote moderne, L'Homère travestie ou L'Iliade en vers burlesques, L'éducation d'un prince, La voiture embourbée, Le miroir, Refléxions sur l'esprit humain, etc...
Very rare and highly sought-after first edition according to Clouzot, for which no copies on large paper were issued.
Full red morocco binding, spine with five raised bands, gilt rolls on headcaps, inner dentelle border on off-white morocco pastedowns enhanced with a red morocco mosaic fillet and quintuple gilt fillets, the fillet and quintuple gilt fillets interlacing at corners, gilt fillet border on turn-ins, ivory watered silk endpapers, iron-grey wrappers and spine preserved (Clouzot notes two states of wrappers: iron-grey - the rarer - and bluish-grey), all edges gilt, double gilt fillets on board edges, half red morocco slipcase with bands, spine with five raised bands, pebbled paper boards, red morocco-edged box, beige leather interior, pebbled paper boards, magnificent binding signed Huser. Provenances: from the libraries of Raoul Simonson and José Peraya with their bookplates pasted on a pastedown.
A superb copy, complete with its rare iron-grey wrappers and the publisher's catalogue which is very often lacking, bound in a splendid full morocco binding with morocco pastedowns and mosaic work by Huser.
