TERRASSE (Claude) - BONNARD (Pierre).
Petites scènes familières Pour Piano.
Paris : E. Fromont, [1893]. - In-folio, 350 x 270: (2 ff.), 36 pp., (1 f.), pp. 37-61 pp. illustrated cover. Red half-maroquin with corners, gilt fillets, spine ribbed, gilt head, untrimmed, cover preserved (Alix).

Early edition of this collection of piano scores composed by Claude Terrasse (1867-1923).

This book features 15 familiar pieces and 4 humorous ones, illustrated with 20 original black lithographs by Pierre Bonnard - one of which adorns the cover, while the others introduce each score.

Particularly sought-after, this book marks a major milestone in Bonnard's career, as it was the very first work he illustrated. The artist, Claude Terrasse's brother-in-law, deploys a style that is both poetic and intimate, already announcing the genius that would characterize his later work.

The edition was printed in a small number, with no exact number of copies known.

Excellently preserved copy, bound by Alix.
Some scattered, light brown spots.
