This is one of the most lavishly illustrated books by Raoul Dufy. "The publisher and the painter worked together on the architecture of the book, ensuring the harmony of text and image: a regular rhythm is established of a fully decorated title page for each chapter, followed by a full-page illustration framing the text, embellished with a historiated lettering whose variety of presentation contributes to the typographic harmony" (Dora Perez-Tibi, Raoul Dufy, Lyon 1999, p. 216). One of 245 copies on Arches wove paper, in a very fine original binding by Creuzevault. Spine slightly faded.
