Histoire du Cinéma

First edition, a Service de Presse (advance) copy.
Spine and boards marginally and slightly browned, paper fragile at margins of some leaves as usual.
Our copy is presented in a sand-colored full cardboard slipcase.
Precious autograph inscription by Robert Brasillach on this text which is one of the very first histories of cinema born a few decades earlier: "A Ramon Fernandez en bien sincère et reconnaissant hommage. Robert Brasillach" ["To Ramon Fernandez with very sincere and grateful homage. Robert Brasillach"] enhanced with the signature of Maurice Bardèche.
