1945183454Paris: Éditions de la revue Verve 1945. Softcover. Good cover is soiled with chipping and tears. Contents very clean except for mild soiling at extremities and some browning to the margins of the lithograph after pp. 56 on the p. 57 side only does not extend through thick paper to p.58 side. Consider the covers a total loss. Green lithographed thiin paper covers over boards. Title-page followed by two Porchoir prints by Matiss Title in cursive "de la Couleur HM" followed by La Chute d'Icaree pagination is discontinuous some pages numbered then many are not then numbered etc. Two pages of lithographed line drawings by Matisse beginning with pp. 57 of Angèle Lamotte. Title-page and lithographs are on Marais paper. A complete issue with noted faults. Green cover of dancing figure is paper cut-out was designed by Matisse and printed on horribly thin paper. Most all I have ever seen are defective in one way or another especially along the spine. This copy has the spine of the outer sheet completely broken with much loss on the green paper print. The green print is fairly soiled.
