It is the 6th publication in the "Les Inédits d'Estienne" collection, which comprises just 19 booklets published between 1951 and 1969. "The work was characterized by the quality of the writing and the exceptional presentation. This presentation, created by the students, annually crystallized the latest degree of perfection in techniques applied to graphic art. Known as the Inédit d'Estienne, these works, printed in a maximum of 200 numbered copies, are characterized by both the originality of the work and the uniqueness of the edition. This explains why they were so highly prized by bibliophiles and literati." (École Estienne). Artist's copy, offered by the author, with a. s. dispatch from Louis de Broglie.
