With a color frontispiece, twenty-one full-page plates printed in black & white and sanguine, and numerous black & white illustrations throughout. The volume opens with a letter from Paul Valéry written in response to de Bosschère's first works, which gave the young Belgian illustrator and poet the affirmation and confidence needed to pursue his career. The entire range of Jean de Bosschère's oeuvre is presented in this biography, bibliography, and tribute to the artist. Bound in quarter vellum and white cloth, gilt-titled to spine. T.e.g. Small bump to spine, else near fine.
