Dingo

Paris: 1924. Pierre Bonnard. Full leather. Octave Mirbeau's final novel (first published in 1913 and here appearing for the first time with the Pierre Bonnard etchings in 1924), centered around his travels with his pet dog "Dingo". #284 of only 300 copies issued in this small limitation, this copy one of 280 within the limitation "sur Verge d'Arches". BOUND IN A MAGNIFICENT, FULL-LEATHER, ART DECO BINDING, VERY LIKELY BY THE FRENCH MASTER BOOKBINDER LEON GRUEL. ALSO INCLUDES PIERRE BONNARD'S 55 ORIGINAL ETCHINGS EXECUTED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS EDITION AND BEAUTIFULLY COMPLEMENTING MIRBEAU'S TEXT. Folio, top-edge gilt, deckled fore and bottom edges. Solid, very well-preserved and Near Fine. A bit of very light wear to the outer hinges, otherwise clean as could be. A wonderful example of a lavish, mid 20s Art Deco binding. Near Fine. Item #17731
