Guy Arnoux, Illustrator
12 CHANSONS
Boards. 10X13 inches. Unusual binding process. Each page is actually two: that is to say, a sheet folded over. No publisher or publishing venue mentioned. Arguably the most brilliantly colored of all Arnoux books. Pochoir: hand colored using stencils. Almost a century after its publication the images almost leap from the pages. 12 pages, to be precise, accompanying 12 songs. Illustrations accompanied by musical notation and verse for children's folk songs opposite each. Exceptionally rare. This copy with a somewhat tattered spine. Bottoims of pages deckled. The illustration for Frere Jacques has been folded back at its inner edge 1/4 inch. Otherwise the interior and all images almost fine. Inventory# 7605 Price $525.00
