(Corti) PANSAERS, Clément :Bar Nicanor.Bruxelles, Londres, Paris, New-York, Madrid, Yokohama : Editions AIO, 1921. One volume in-8°; Bound in publisher's hardback, titled boards, spine in chagrined cloth. Complete with its two full-page woodcuts of Arpian inspiration but by the author, representing "a portrait of Crotte de Bique and Couillandouille by themselves". ORIGINAL EDITION printed at 305 numbered copies. The justified nôte (seems to be n°4) so normally 1 of the 5 first on hollande, but our copy is rather on Japon or simili-Japon (The justifications of Pansaers' works are often crazy!). Pale freckles on the first 3-4 leaves otherwise a very nice and rare copy.
