MORIN (Louis). Parisian carnivals. Bals des Quat-z-arts - Vache enragée - Bals du courrier - Boeuf gras - Cortèges des Étudiants - Cortèges du Moulin Rouge. Paris, Librairie illustrée Montgredien, s.d. [1898]. Bradel, small in-8 in red half-maroquin, with corners, edged with gilt fillet. 5-rib spine, author and title, 5 irons depicting Carnival characters, taken from the book's illustrations (Carayon relieur). Ex-libris of A. Villet. This copy presents, folded and in perfect condition, the two covers by Morin (including the one not chosen) and the large poster (37 x 40.5 cm) announcing the book, intended for display in bookshops and completed by an original watercolor pen-and-ink drawing on the false title. All text pages are illustrated with color drawings by L. Morin (sf. 9 pages). Some take up 2 to 8 pages in one go. Edition of 1255 copies, numbered after 1 copy on Japon paper containing the original drawings. This is one of 100 on Japon signed by the author (N°66), with all the drawings in color. The carnival theme inspired Louis Morin, who turned it into a sought-after "little gem" in this quality. A very fine copy.
