An excellent presentation copy, the limp morocco wrappers matching the text block.
From the edition limited to 130 copies, with this one of 120 on Japanese vellum.
This exceptionally fine copy with presentation in grey green ink to verso of the title (the leaf with copy number): 'To Mr. [Noel] Clément Janin / from / Lucien Pissarro / & / Esther Pissarro'.
The olive morocco binding fits the text perfectly; frequently the binding was too short, leaving the fore edge of the text exposed.
Noel Clément-Janin was a writer, art critic and editor. He edited 'L'Estampe et l'Affiche' with André Mellerio, worked with Edouard Pellettan at his publishing house and was curator at the Doucet Library.
