Extraordinary binding, La Princess Lointaine

Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Rostand, Edmond
Title: La Princesse Lointaine: Pièce en quatre actes en vers
Place Published: Paris
Publisher:Aux Dépens D'un Amateur
Date Published: 1919
Description:

Illustrated with color plates from watercolors by George Sheringham, pochoir borders and headpieces. (4to) 26x20 cm (10¼x8"), finely bound for Bumpus in light brown morocco with floriated multicolor border inlays reminiscent of a kelp forest – to match the illustrated page borders within, cover medallion with sea bird vignette inlaid in green, blue and white, spine lettered in gilt with ruled panels, raised bands, top edge gilt, gilt dentelles, original wrappers bound in at rear, with original leather-lipped cloth-covered slipcase. No. 11 of 100 numbered copies from a total edition of 109.

A lovely binding on the audacious theme of unattainable beauty, creating an integral work of art and enhancing the text. La Princesse Lointaine, written by Rostand to star Sarah Bernhardt, was based on the story of the 12th-century troubadour Jaufre Rudel and his love for Hodierna of Jerusalem (who is the archetypal princesse lointaine character).

Condition

Only hints of wear to binding; fine, or nearly so in like slipcase.
