Description:
Paris: Piazza, 1928. Book. Illus. by Barbier, George. Near Fine. Soft cover. Limited Edition. Twenty two texts in French by Paul Verlaine, accompanied by 20 beautiful pochoir illustrations by George Barbier. Published in Paris by H. Piazza in 1928. Limited edition, No. XLV of the American edition of CLXXV. In paper wraps with leather spine. One plate shows staining in the gutter margin, not affecting the image. Gutters unobtrusively reinforced with Japanese paper at beginning and end. Otherwise entire book is fine. Original slipcase has been somewhat crudely repaired and reinforced around the edges with Japanese paper. A glorious example of the sensual aesthetics for which George Barbier was known. His work harkens back to the excessive fashions of the eighteenth century as a means of escape from post-World War I Europe, pursuing a similar goal to Dada and Surrealism but through very different means..
