    Paris: Éditions des Deux Amis, 1922. First edition, numbered edition. Signed with a warm inscription by the author. With 3 hand-coloured Phototypes after Georges Rouault reproduced and pattern-coloured by Jacomet. Private half vellum binding of the time, illustrated original cover with binding, the covers with pretty calico printed paper. One of 240 copies on velin paper (from a total edition of 250). This copy is not numbered, but is stated that it is the Author's copy.

We have seen other copies also designated as Author's copy so this is presumably one of a small number given to the author for distribution rather than THE copy. In very nice, clean condition. Internally spotless. Rouault (1871-1958) was one of the most accomplished book artists of his period. He had a particular interest in clowns and these illustrations to Henry Church's text anticipate his Cirque (1931) and Cirque de l'Etoile filante (1938). Their expression of figures and lyricism make Rouault the first of the Expressionists. Chapon 210, 244. 38 pages. 190 by 140mm (7½ by 5½ inches).

    . Première édition, numérotée. Signée avec une chaleureuse inscription par l'auteur. Avec 3 phototypes coloriés à la main d'après Georges Rouault reproduits et coloriés par Jacomet. Reliure privée en demi-vélin de l'époque, couverture originale illustrée avec la reliure, les plats sont recouverts d'un joli papier calicot imprimé. Un des 240 exemplaires sur papier vélin (sur un tirage total de 250). Cet exemplaire n'est pas numéroté, mais il est indiqué qu'il s'agit de l'exemplaire de l'Auteur. Nous avons vu d'autres exemplaires également désignés comme exemplaire de l'auteur ; il s'agit donc vraisemblablement d'un petit nombre d'exemplaires remis à l'auteur pour distribution plutôt que de L'EXEMPLAIRE. En très bon état, propre. L'intérieur est impeccable. Rouault (1871-1958) était l'un des artistes du livre les plus accomplis de son époque. Il s'intéressait particulièrement aux clowns et ces illustrations du texte d'Henry Church anticipent son Cirque (1931) et le Cirque de l'Etoile filante (1938). L'expression des figures et le lyrisme font de Rouault le premier des expressionnistes. Chapon 210, 244. 38 pages. 190 x 140 mm.

Ordinarily we would discount this as a printed signature (as he died in 1891) - but we have seen other copies where the frontis photograph has no signature to it, so wonder if there were some with a genuine inscription.
