This is copy #48 printed for Le Docteur J. J. Gournay. Also enclosed is a folded sheet (printed in the same size) for the publisher's dinner in March 1953. This features a lithograph by Brayer of pastoral (almost biblical) scene, signed in pencil by the artist. It includes the menu for the dinner. The menu is a little darkened to the outside sheet, but overall in good, clean condition. The folder of the book is mainly clean, but with a little bumping and with slight splitting to the spine. The sheets of the books themselves are clean and tidy throughout, with attractive lithographs by Brayer. Maurice Barrès (18621923) was a prominent French writer and nationalist politician.His 1895 book "Du sang, de la volupté et de la mort?" ("Of Blood, Pleasure, and Death") is a key text where he explores these themes of vitalism, passion, and the inner life as a sovereign self connected organically to ancestry and race. Yves Brayer (19071990) was a prominent French painter, engraver, illustrator, and theatre decorator, associated with the figurative tradition. .
