Copy on Holland paper (first-edition paper) specially printed for Gérald Maurois and enhanced with an autographed dedication from the author to his son “who had the wisdom to go ‘in search of’ André Maurois—and to find him.” Gérald Maurois (1920–1986), born of the writer’s first marriage to Jane-Wanda de Szymkiewicz, became a professional photographer.
