SIMENON, GEORGES (1903-1989)
La folle d'Itteville.
Éditions Jacques Haumont (Phototexte collection), Paris, 1931.
In-16 (18 x 14 cm). First edition of this detective novel by Georges Simenon, illustrated with 104 black photographs by Germaine Krull, in the text and full-page. This is the first and only book in the Phototexte collection edited by Jacques Haumont. Softcover illustrated with a photomontage. The rear flyleaf is attached to the 3rd cover, which in no way detracts from the quality of this rare little work. The 4th cover announces a new title bringing together Georges Simenon and Germaine Krull, in the same collection. This title never saw the light of day.
