1818176980Paris: Mercure de France and Rene Kieffer 1818. Limited edition of 350 copies this being No. 52. Hardcover. VG in new binding. Manuscript sheet tipped-in at the front written in French. Newly bound into half grey cloth with light colored marbled paper-covered boards. 401 pp. 46 original color plates of watercolors by Aizik Adolphe Feder. Text is in French. Contents as follows: Préface / Paul Claudel -- Premiers vers -- Les déserts de l'amour -- Les illuminations -- Une saison en enfer -- Notes et références / Paterne Berrichon -- Appendice. The 45 color illustrations arew vibrant clean and fresh. A delight to peruse. Separate title-page for the suite of watercolors is entitled "Suite d'aquarelles de Féder pour illustrer les oeuvres de Arthur Rimbaud" and is further ellucidaated as "Tirage à 350 exemplaires dont 50 sur Japon avec suite."/ Copy no. 52" I believe the publication itself is not limited to a small number of copies since it has a number 4729 stamped under a statement of 25 copies on Japon. However the suite of watercolors is limited and is bound into the book and the original paper-binding spine is bound-in at the rear unused. The Preface is dated 1912 the book appear later than that by appx. 15-20 years but there is no publication date provided from either title-page. OCLC provides the most similar printed copy with a date of 1918. Mercure de France (and) Rene Kieffer hardcover books
