KUHN-RÉGNIER (Joseph) - DONNAY (Maurice). Praxagora. Adaptation of L'Assemblée des femmes by Aristophane. Paris: Les Centraux bibliophiles, 1932. - In-folio, leaves, filled cover, publisher's folder and slipcase. Remarkable edition of 130 numbered copies on japon double nacré (no. 63), illustrated with 64 compositions by Joseph KUHN-RÉGNIER (1873-1940), including a title vignette, a bandeau, 6 culs-de-lampe, 5 lettrines and 51 figures in the text, wood-engraved in color by Pierre Bouchet. Kuhn-Régnier was a cartoonist, poster artist and illustrator who contributed to several magazines, including Fantasio, Lecture pour tous and Le Sourire. His style is not unlike that of George Barbier. The compositions in this book were masterfully engraved by Pierre Bouchet, who collaborated on many occasions with François-Louis Schmied.
