COURTIN (Pierre, ill.), FAULKNER (William), COINDREAU (M.E., trans.). *As I Lie Dying*. Paris, Jean Boisseau, 1946. (On blank leaves), printed cover. Loose-leaf, pasted-down cover, and publisher’s slipcase. Elaborate typography and highly accomplished illustrations by Courtin. Edition printed in a run of 200 copies, plus 10 hardcover copies, adorned with a title page and 25 original engravings by the painter and engraver Pierre Courtin. One of the 10 hardcover copies on Lana paper, printed especially for Jacques Guignard. A few foxing spots. Slipcase showing signs of wear. An archivist, paleographer, and erudite humanist, Jacques Guignard (1912–1980) devoted his career to the National Library, where he directed the Printed Works Collection before heading the Arsenal Library from 1961 to 1980. Combining a deep knowledge of the history of the book with a rare artistic sensibility, he enriched and promoted the heritage collections while playing a pioneering role in the development of international bibliophilia.
