DUFY (Raoul) - MONTFORT (Eugène). La Belle-enfant ou l'amour à quarante ans. Paris : Ambroise Vollard, 1930. - In-4, 333 x 252 : (4 ff. 2 first blanks), 249 pp. (7 ff. 3 last blanks), 16 plates, illustrated cover. First illustrated edition, 390 copies printed, with 94 original etchings by Raoul DUFY (1877-1953), including 16 hors texte and 26 full-page, including the one for the table. 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 with 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). 216). One of 65 copies on japon supernacré, this being one of 30 on this paper enriched with a suite of etchings on Montval laid paper (no. 57), initialed by the artist and publisher at the justification. This is the second paper after 30 copies on old japon. The suite is preserved in a folder and slipcase, identical to those of the text volume. Restoration to the suite cover, otherwise a very well preserved copy.
