PERGAUD (Louis) — Novels and Short Stories. Illustrations by - Lot 231
PERGAUD (Louis) — Novels and Short Stories. Illustrations by Michel Politzer PERGAUD (Louis). Novels and Short Stories. From Goupil to Margot. The Raven’s Revenge. The Story of Miraut. The War of the Buttons. Illustrations by Michel Politzer. Paris, Mercure de France, 1963. Very large 8vo (approx. 23.5 × 18.5 cm), 568 pp., numerous illustrations by Michel Politzer in black-and-white and color, some full-page or double-page spreads. Illustrated hardcover by the publisher based on designs by Massin, under transparent Rhodoid, with original slipcase. A beautiful collected edition bringing together four of Louis Pergaud’s major works: *De Goupil à Margot*, which earned him the Prix Goncourt in 1910; *La Revanche du corbeau*; *Le Roman de Miraut*; and his most famous work, *La Guerre des boutons*. The book is particularly appealing for its graphic design, based on Massin’s layouts, and for Michel Politzer’s illustrations, which alternate between black-and-white compositions and large color images. The book jacket itself is entirely illustrated with a forest landscape that extends across the spine and both covers. The bibliographic descriptions of the volume confirm this Massin-designed book jacket and Politzer’s black-and-white and color illustrations. First printing of this illustrated edition, printed by Maison Mame in Tours on October 30, 1963, for both the text and the black-and-white and color illustrations, on Opalys vellum from Papeteries de Ruysscher. The legal deposit date is from the fourth quarter of 1963. These characteristics correspond well to the copies found on the market. A very fine copy, particularly fresh inside. Illustrated hardcover with well-preserved colors. Original Rhodoïd cover present, as well as the rare original slipcase; the slipcase shows some signs of wear, scuffs, and minor warping from normal use. The Rhodoïd cover has a few superficial marks. A complete and very decorative copy.
