About This Item

Paris: Gallimard, 1942. Fine. Gallimard, Paris 1942, 12x19cm, relié. - | Précieux exemplaire du service de presse | Edition originale pour laquelle il n'a pas été tiré de grands papiers, un des rares exemplaires du service de presse. Reliure en plein box jaune, dos lisse titré au palladium, plats décorés de filets à froid, le premier serti de mosaïques de box gris souris, contreplats de box jaune, garde suivante de daim beige, couvertures et dos conservés, tête non dorée comme toutes les reliures de Jean-Luc Honegger, coffret en demi box jaune, dos lisse titré au palladium, plats de lustrine jaune, intérieur de daim beige, très bel ensemble signé Jean-Luc Honegger (2023). Cette première édition de L'Etranger fut impirmée le 21 avril 1942 à 4400 exemplaires : 400 service de presse, 500 exemplaires sans mention et 3500 exemplaires avec mentions fictives de seconde à huitième ""édition"". Les exemplaires en service de presse, non destinés à la vente, ne comporte pas l'indication de prix [25 francs] sur le dos de la couverture. Le papier est rare en 1942 et Albert Camus étant alors un auteur inconnu, Gallimard n'imprima pas de papiers de luxe (ou grands papiers) comme cela se pratiquait souvent, les exemplaires du service de presse ou sans mention d'édition sont particulièrement recherchés. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] | A precious press copy | L'Étranger [The Stranger] Gallimard | Paris 1942 | 12 x 19 cm | full calf First edition, one of the rare press copies. No deluxe limited issue printed. Full yellow box calf binding, smooth spine lettered in palladium, boards tooled in blind, upper board with inlays of grey box calf, yellow box calf pastedowns, beige suede endpapers, original wrappers and spine preserved, no gilt edges like every binding by Jean-Luc Honegger, half yellow box calf custom slipcase, smooth spine lettered in palladium, yellow lustrine cloth boards, beige suede lining, very fine set signed Jean-Luc Honegger (2023). *** 4400 copies of this first edition of The Stranger were printed on April 21, 1942: 400 press copies, 500 copies without a statement of edition and 3500 copies with false statements of second through eighth ""editions"". The press copies, not intended for sale, do not bear the price indication [25 francs] on the back cover. Paper was scarce in 1942, and as Albert Camus was an unknown author at the time, Gallimard did not print a limited issue on luxury paper (or large paper) as was often the case. For this reason, press copies or copies without a statement of edition are particularly sought-after.
