    Paris: la Librairie de France, 1931. First edition. A limited edition of only 125 copies in total (including 5 H.C.) this is one of only 20 copies printed on Japon, with an additional suite of images and in a slipcase. Two stiff paper / card folders. These are cream with a little darkening / marking to the spines. The first volume is the text with integral illustration. The second is the additional suite. The text folder is protected with glassine. This is a little marked and has a couple of chips. To the spine of the glassine are two small hand made label stickers with the titles. (home made not produced by the author). The slipcase is in darkened but good, strong condition. Inside, both volumes are in beautifully clean condition. The Japon paper has remained bright and without marking or foxing. The illustrations have tissue guards to them. The numbered colophon is to the end of the text volume. The suite perhaps lacks two plates, as there are 32 plates in the suite. Each corresponds to an image in the book. However, there is an image of a tree with a large spider, and another with a hedgehog and lizard fighting. Both are in the book but NOT the suite. There are 34 engravings in the book. Some other copies online state 33 engravings (within the book) presumably not counting the frontis vignette - which IS in the suite. The only other copy available with a suite doesn't mention a collation / number of plates in the suite, so we are a little confused ! Nevertheless a nice collection of engravings within the book and an attractive suite of 32 plates. We do not promise completeness. 68 unnumbered pages. 29cm x 21cm. WorldCat / OCLC: 5508426 The BnF holding is: FRBNF31581059. Both are for the issue without suite.

    . Première édition. Tirage limité à 125 exemplaires au total (dont 5 H.C.), celui-ci est l'un des 20 exemplaires imprimés sur Japon, avec une suite d'images supplémentaire et sous étui. Deux chemises en papier rigide / carte. Elles sont de couleur crème avec un léger assombrissement/marquage au dos. Le premier volume est le texte avec l'illustration intégrale. Le second est la suite supplémentaire. La chemise du texte est protégée par un glassine. Celui-ci est un peu marqué et présente quelques éclats. Au dos du glassine se trouvent deux petites étiquettes autocollantes faites à la main avec les titres. (faites à la main et non produites par l'auteur). L'étui est assombri mais en bon état. A l'intérieur, les deux volumes sont en parfait état de propreté. Le papier Japon est resté brillant et sans marque ni rousseur. Les illustrations sont accompagnées de protège-tissu. Le colophon numéroté se trouve à la fin du volume de texte. Il manque peut-être deux planches à la suite, qui en compte 32. Chacune correspond à une image dans le livre. Cependant, il y a une image d'un arbre avec une grande araignée, et une autre avec un hérisson et un lézard qui se battent. Ces deux images figurent dans le livre, mais PAS dans la suite. Il y a 34 gravures dans le livre. D'autres exemplaires en ligne indiquent 33 gravures (dans le livre), probablement sans compter la vignette du frontispice - qui fait partie de la suite. Le seul autre exemplaire disponible avec une suite ne mentionne pas de collation / nombre de planches dans la suite, nous sommes donc un peu perdus ! Néanmoins, il s'agit d'une belle collection de gravures dans le livre et d'une suite attrayante de 32 planches. Nous ne promettons pas l'exhaustivité. 68 pages non numérotées. 29cm x 21cm. WorldCat / OCLC : 5508426 Le numéro de la BnF est : FRBNF31581059. Les deux sont pour l'édition sans suite.
