1927ST15053eLondon: Nonesuch Press 1927. No. 303 of 1500 copies. 191 x 121 mm. 7 1/2 x 4 3/4". 4p.l. 156 pp. 1 leaf. <br/> Original boards covered in marbled paper in muted tones of rose blue and cream parchment spine and tips top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. 11 elegant full-page illustrations and three vignettes by Thomas Lowinsky. Dreyfus 48. ◆Tiny dent to head of spine otherwise A NEAR-MINT COPY clean bright and unread.<br/> <br/> Described in its prospectus as "the airiest and most charming of all Voltaire's romances" this fable set in an exotic land reveals the frothy précieux side of Voltaire's complex personality. Lowinsky 1892-1947 has cleverly illustrated the tale with willowy figures sporting the towering hairdos and plunging necklines of Voltaire's own time and place to suggest that the frivolity of the story reflects homegrown decadence. This was the first of four books he illustrated for Nonesuch; his style is reminiscent of that of Beardsley. Nonesuch Press unknown
