-
First Edition. Attractive hardback folder with an illustration by Bonfils to the front board. Slight darkening to the spine. The silk ties are present, but only just holding. To the spine, the paper has cracked away, leaving the fabric exposed. A little darkening to the back cream cover. Inside the boards are covered with a hand coloured end paper design and flaps. One of the flaps is detached, and one only half present. The 20 plates (including 16 which are predominantly illustration) are in excellent condition, with just a touch of darkening to the title. Beautifully produced plates in Pochoir (a form of hand coloured stencil technique). One of 320 copies only (this one of the 300 examples on papier vergé). Featuring a superb suite of plates celebrating the French war effort in the early years of the First World War by the designer Robert Bonfils, one of the recognised masters of Art Deco. Each of the plates have quotations to the bottom edge. Complete, including the plate "L'Union Sacrée" showing a priest and a worker loading shells. The union celebrated was that in which the pacifist Left agreed not to oppose the war. The text is provided by the Naturalist author Descaves, editor of Aurore during the Dreyfus Affair. His political activities led to him losing his rank during his military service. A scarce item. [3] pages 16 colour plates, 1 leaf (loose-leaf) (in portfolio) 330 by 250mm (13 by 9Ÿ inches). "Les coloris ont été exécutés à la main par E. Charpentier, sous la direction de l'artiste." Conforms to FirstSearch / WorldCat OCLC: 213524413. BnF reference: FRBNF40344987. .
