BARRÈS (Maurice). A Garden on the Orontes. - Lot 28
BARRÈS (Maurice). A Garden on the Orontes. Paris, Librairie Plon, Plon-Nourrit et Cie, 1922. In-8 format, approximately 19.5 × 12.5 cm, paperback, yellow cover printed in black, untrimmed. FIRST EDITION, printing completed on May 17, 1922. The book was indeed first published by Plon that year. The colophon lists a print run of 1,500 deluxe copies: 50 on China paper (nos. 1–50), 75 on Japan paper (nos. 51–125), 225 on Holland Van Gelder (126–350), followed by 1,150 on pure-fiber paper from the Lafuma paper mills in Voiron, of which 1,100 were numbered 351–1,450 and 50 were not for sale. In addition, there is a first edition printed on thread-bound paper. The colophon simply reads: “Copy of the FIRST EDITION” with no visible number. This copy is preserved in paperback with its original cover, which is a plus. The cover is slightly faded and dusty, with small marks and creases from use; there are small tears on the head and foot of the cover, particularly at the bottom; the spine is slightly creased. The interior appears fairly fresh, with the wide margins preserved.
