Paris : Librairie J.-B Baillière et Fils. 1912. First edition. Printed by Imp. G. Roy, Poitiers. Preface by M Jean Hennessy.
Octavo (230x140mm) quarter bound green chagrin, raised bands, six compartments, gilt lettered spine, marbled boards and end-papers, original olive gray printed front wrapper bound in, [6 blank],[2],169,[1],[6 publisher advertisements],[6 blank]pp; 49 in-text engraved illustrations and photographs.

An excellent monograph on the viticulture of the Petit Champagne region of the Charente; which grapes are used for the production of Cognac and eaux-de-vie. The text addresses vineyard location, varietal selection, root-stock, grafting, pruning, trellising, cultivation, and vine diseases.
Lafon wrote several books on viticulture in the Charente and in relation to Cognac distillation. He is best known for his 1921 book on Vine pruning using the Poussard method to address Esca or vine trunk disease.
Scarce, with impeccable provenance and beautifully bound.
