Edition: Limited
Illustrated By: Andre Deslignieres, Jean Lebedeff, Georges Lemeilleur
Published By: Franklin Library
This lovely hardback limited edition Franklin Library copy of Gustave Flaubert's "Three Tales" is beautifully bound in black leather. The book is opulently decorated, with all-edge gilt, as well as gilt decorations, lettering, and illustrations on the cover and spine. This impeccable presentation continues inside the book, which has purple silk endpapers, a satin ribbon page marker, and a playful use of blue and black ink for chapter titles and other interior decorations. The beautiful woodcuttings by Andre Deslignieres, Jean Lebedeff, and Georges Lemeilleur perfectly compliment the three tales inside: A Simple Heart, The Legend of St Julian the Hospitaller, and Herodias. This book has 199 pages of text, and apart from some minor fading to the silk endpapers, it is in near perfect condition, and its pages appear unread. This book is looking for a new home, and would be a lovely gift for any collectors of limited edition Franklin Library books, or for any fans of Gustave Flaubert.
