About This Item

Paris: Philippe Gonin, 1950. Hardcover. Orig. tan boards and vellum spine chemises house printed wrappers. Fine in very good matching slipcases. 2 vols. Maillol, Aristede. 174, 154 pages in text. Folio, 32 x 24 cm. Limited edition, one of 750 unnumbered sets on rag wove paper watermarked with Maillol seated nude. A total of 122 woodcuts including illustrated initial letters and small images in the lower corners. First conceived on a 1908 voyage from Greece with Count Harry Kessler, Maillol continued work on his illustrations for the Georgics sporadically for several years before abandoning the project. In 1937, at the urging of publisher Phillipe Gonin, he resumed the project. The last blocks were delivered shortly before Maillol's death in 1950. [see; ARTIST AND THE BOOK 175]. Contents loose as issued in printed wrappers. Light spotting to slipcases.
