Lettres elemenatires sur La Botanique SIGNED
Paris: Les Pharmaciens Bibliophiles, 1957. Paul Baudier. Original wraps. A beautifully-illustrated example of mid-20th century French book-making, with Paul Baudier's 23 lovely watercolors complementing Jean-Jacques Rousseau's text, which was originally published in 1802. This lavish 1957 reprint consists of only 150 copies, this being #11 of only 50 copies within the larger limitation of 150. Crisp and bright and Near Fine, with all of the plates including their original tissue-guards. Loose signatures (as issued), housed within an off-white printed dustjacket, which shows just a touch of very light white spotting at the panels. And the entire work housed inside of the publisher's printed, cardboard chemise, which shows a degree of wear along the outer hinges. Still though, solid and very presentable. Very Good +.
