Huit quartiers de roture (Petit guide des XIXe et XXe arrondissements de Paris)

First edition, one of 33 numbered copies on white Rivoli wove paper, the only deluxe issue.

Our copy is complete with the accompanying CD featuring excerpts from Huit quartiers de roture, radio broadcasts adapted from the work and aired on the Programme parisien in 1952.

The wrapper is illustrated with the reproduction of two postcards depicting the 19th and 20th arrondissements by Joseph Porphyre Pinchon, creator of Bécassine, taken from the series entitled "Les arrondissements de Paris illustrés en 20 cartes postales."

We are also including with our copy the complete set of 20 postcards, lacking only the original protective sleeve.

A handsome ensemble.
