Maurice GENEVOIX., Rémi des Rauches. Original engravings by Soulas

Very small square folio, (5)-273-(1) pp. on hand-made vellum, title in red and black, frontispiece. In the publisher’s slipcase, loose in a cardboard folder with a vellum spine and embossed title, flap cover (one vellum edge slightly split at the bottom, edges slightly tarnished and slight oxidation on the cover, but the interior is in very fresh condition). A fine copy of this illustrated edition of the Rousseau-inspired novel set in the Loire region and its countryside, published in 1922. Limited edition of 151 copies. The volume is illustrated with 62 original black-and-white engravings by Louis-Joseph Soulas, including 8 plates. An artist’s copy, unnumbered. Printed on Montval vellum and, like the first 15 copies, includes an inked copperplate (corresponding to the large illustration on p. 35). A lovely autographed dedication by Maurice Genevoix on the half-title page, addressed to Mrs Jeudy. A rather personal dedication with a reference to the Sologne region.
