BO (Lars). Around the Snow Queen. Paris : Jacques Frapier, [1968]. - Large folio, 562 x 453: (10 ff. first and last blank), printed cover. In sheets, publisher's slipcase. Beautiful album of ten original aquatints by the Danish painter and illustrator Lars BO (1924-1999) illustrating ten passages from the tale of The Snow Queen by Andersen. The represented extracts are reproduced under the facsimile of the original manuscript. Preliminary text by Jean Bouret, entitled The Snow Queen, Lars Bo and the creative imagination. The announced edition of this work is 150 copies plus a few copies for the collaborators and the Bibliothèque Nationale. This one, not numbered, does not correspond to any of the states described in the justification. A trial or pass copy, it includes the text printed on Mandeure rag paper and the ten aquatints in color on old japon, accompanied by a suite of the ten engravings in black before the letter on wove paper. All the proofs contained in this copy are signed in pencil by the artist and bear the dry stamp "Galerie des peintres-graveurs J. Frapier Paris". The justification does not mention any color suite on japan as it is the case here. Soiling and slight wear to the slipcase. Minimal and discreet freckles on the text and black suite leaves.
