From a total edition of 165 this is one of the first 25 copies which were printed on Marais paper and include an original wash drawing.

There are two extra suites of the illustrations one in color on Montval the other in black on Ingres from a total edition of 150 copies signed on the colophon by author illustrator and publisher. In addition four proofs on a variant paper are specially signed by Masson. From the collection of Lawrence Saphire with a note laid in concerning the extra plates. Reva Castleman approvingly quotes Daniel Kahnweiler who called this "among the most beautiful books of our times". Masson's aquatints "erupt throughout the text like the flickering of film that intermittently slides off its sprockets a fitting commentary on the literary form Malraux had devised under the influence of the Russian director Sergei Eisenstein's cinematic style" Castleman A Century of Artists Books New York 1994. p.31 130. This image is one of the 33 aquatints created to illustrate Les Conquerants The Conquerors a novel about civil unrest in China by André Malraux first published in Paris in 1928.<br /> <br /> Swiss publisher Skira who wanted to produce publications in “the tradition of the ‘great illustrated books’†commissioned Masson in 1947 to illustrate Andre Malraux’s novel. Prior to this commission Masson had recently returned from Atelier 17 in New York after studying printmaking techniques with Stanley Hayter Brit. 1901-1988 who originally had his studio in Paris prior to WWII. Masson’s aquatints for Les Conquerants are considered to be technically complex using gradations of only one colour along with black. The plates are larger than the format and therefore there are no platemarks. Ref: Saphire #272. Albert Skira unknown

197582305Paris: Gallimard 1975. Fine. Gallimard Paris 1975 12.50 x 20 cm broché First edition one of 120 numbered copies on Holland paper deluxe copy. Very handsome copy. Autograph inscription signed by André Malraux to his friends Minka and Karl-Hans Strauss enhanced with two small drawings in red and blue ink representing cats. Minka a Rothschild descendant and Karl-Hans Strauss were important patrons and collectors of art and music close to André Malraux. Their correspondence seems to reveal that in the 1970s the elderly writer was hunting around the world with his last companion Sophie de Vilmorin for works for their collection. At the end of his life he thus rediscovered this youthful passion that inspired his first work la Voie Royale. Gallimard unknown
