ALBIN-GUILLOT, LAURE (1879-1962) Hors du Nid. Éditions Bourrelier & Cie, 1934. In-8 (20 x 14 cm). First edition, first printing. Text by Ch. Ab Der Halden. 288 pp. 17 photogravure illustrations by Laure Albin Guillot, including photomontages. Illustrated boards. For this book, the publisher commissioned Laure Albin Guillot to create special photographs in response to Der Halden's text, and to use previously unpublished images from a reportage in Morocco for the end of the book's text. This middle-school reading book was reprinted many times until 1945. This is a copy of the first edition, in fine condition, whereas the few copies that can usually be found have been much handled and are not first editions.
