GUERIN (Maurice de). *Le Centaure*. Lyon: Le Cercle Gryphe, 1929. One in-4 volume in loose-leaf format, with a printed and illustrated hardcover with a raised spine. Scattered foxing at the end of the volume. A superb Art Deco volume, entirely decorated by the Lyon-based copper engraver Claudius Linossier (1893–1953) with 73 geometric compositions wood-engraved by Philippe Burnot and printed in red, black, gray, and silver, most of which are enhanced with palladium. This is the only book illustrated by Claudius Linossier and the first work published by the Cercle Gryphe. Limited edition of 133 copies on vellum, all personalized; this particular copy was specially printed for Mr. Léon Desbenoit. This copy is enhanced with an original drawing that served as a layout and a series of 11 proofs and states on tracing paper, signed in pencil by Burnot, of that same drawing.
