Cloth chemise. Fine/Very Good. Hermine David 1886-1970. No. 205 of limitation total of 1125 copies. 7 324 3 pp. And five etched plates done in dry point by David. Also a loose thin promotional sheet from the publisher. This Maurois novel first appeared in 1923. David was a post-Impressionist painter who was a part of the Ecole de Paris movement whose members were mostly not French born David being an exception to this. But she did marry a fellow member of this group Jules Pascin with whom she emigrated to American for five years. In the 1920s she became an active enthusiastic book illustrator this being a fine example of her work in the medium. Ours is a beautiful copy of this edition. It looks virtually untouched with the leaves generally uncut and all the tissue guards still in perfect shape. The glassine dust jacket has a few closed tears and tiny holes which with the material doesn't take much handling to occur. The slipcase and chemise have some color fading of their blue and the slipcase has light edgewear. Its skiver title label has a tiny pinprick blemish. But are structurally sound attractive and will continue to protect the book proper. The dust jacket alone we would grade Very Good Minus the slipcase and chemise Very Good Plus. Overall we consider this package very comfortably Fine. Librairie de la Revue Française. Alexis Redier, editor. Printer: Colouma unknown

9788525055866GLOBO. new. Ap�s o reinado de mais de seis d�cadas da Rainha Victoria 1819-1901 e da impressionante expans�o do Imp�rio Brit�nico impulsionada pela Revolu��o Industrial o Reino Unido recebeu a coroa��o de Edward VII 1841-1910 com algumas ressalvas. O filho mais velho de Victoria tinha ent�o 59 anos e era conhecido por ser mulherengo glut�o e dado a jogos de azar. Um de seus casos amorosos causou tal esc�ndalo que muitos dizem que matou de desgosto seu pai o Pr�ncipe Albert 1819-1861 poucas semanas depois. E Victoria nunca perdoou o filho por isso. Mas a hist�ria pode surpreender os mais c�ticos. Edward VII acabou sendo conhecido como Edward o Pacificador e seu reinado mesmo que curto apenas nove anos foi crucial para algumas movimenta��es pol�ticas no Reino Unido e na Europa. Lan�ado originalmente em 1933 o livro Depois da Rainha Victoria Edward VII tra�a um perfil elegante como � costume na bibliografia do escritor Andr� Maurois de um monarca repleto de contradi��es em um momento importante da hist�ria mundial a passagem do s�culo XIX para o XX � os imp�rios que dominavam o mundo no s�culo XIX estavam para ruir com a Primeira Guerra Mundial e um novo ator surgia com for�a no cen�rio pol�tico mundial: os Estados Unidos antes de ser coroado Edward VII foi o primeiro membro da Casa Real Brit�nica a visitar oficialmente a antiga col�nia. Enquanto o mundo se contorcia em mudan�as � o cinema e o carro tinham acabado de ser inventados � Edward VII tentava arrumar a pr�pria casa contendo os �nimos de conservadores e liberais que brigavam por uma nova Constitui��o. Maurois sempre fascinado pelos meandros da nobreza brit�nica disseca esses jogos de poder em um livro indispens�vel para quem gosta de hist�ria e pol�tica. GLOBO unknown
