Établissements Nicolas. Maison fondée en 1822. Liste des Grands Vins fins 1934

 

An exceptional recueil of Nicolas Ponce's graphic oeuvre, likely constituted by the artist himself, and an important monument to the history of French engraving in the eighteenth century.

André Derain's superb woodcuts - the only colour illustrations he made for a book - for François Rabelais' 'Pantagruel'.

The suite 'à part' of Decaris' etchings for Ronsard's 'Discours des MIsères de Ce Temps'.

From the edition limited to 575 copies (including five hors commerce), with this one of 500 on papier rose, vergé, à la forme.

Fernand Léger's 'La Fin du Monde.

A very good copy with additional original drawings, suites and two of the original printing plates.

Albert Gleizes illustrating Mercereau's tale 'La Conque Miraculeuse'.

A fine copy of Laboureur's privately published essay on original engraving with a presentation to Camille Bloch.
