Description

Collective and DETOUCHE (Henry): les péchés capitaux. Paris, Librairie artistique Boudet, 1900. One volume. 26.5 by 35 cm. 19 unnumbered leaves. With 9 color compositions by Henry DETOUCHE: cover, table and each of the 7 deadly sins. Contemporary empire half-maroquin with corners, smooth spine, bradel, covers preserved, gilt head. Binding signed DURVAND. Spine and upper board slightly oiled, some rubbing. Excellent condition inside (two discreet freckles in the margin of one engraving). Unpublished poetry by Edmond Haraucourt, Jules de Marthold, Francis de Croisset, Marc Legrand, Emile Verhaeren, Henri de Régnier and André Fontanas. Each sin is introduced by a marginal ornament subtly referring to it (Peacock feather for Pride, Pope's coin or Herbe aux écus for Avarice, Anthurium for Lust, Birds gorging on cherries for Gluttony, Thistle for Wrath, etc.). These elements, in prints of various monochrome tones, also illustrate the poetry inspired by the various sins opposite the full-page engraving. A very fine achievement
