BONNEFOY (Yves). XXIV Sonnets by Shakespeare. Paris, Les Bibliophiles de France, 1994. Folio, loose-leaf, cloth-bound cover, publisher’s slipcase. First edition of Yves Bonnefoy’s translation of 24 of Shakespeare’s sonnets. 7 original full-page etchings by Zao Wou-Ki. Limited edition of 195 copies on vellum paper, signed by the author and the artist. Rare proof copy: unnumbered and lacking the signatures of the author and the artist, it was likely intended for the printer or the printing workshop. It is enhanced with one of the 30 suites on mounted China paper, numbered 29/30 and signed by the artist on each engraving; these suites were reserved for members of the Society. It also includes the menu, printed for the general meeting of members, illustrated with one of the etchings from the work.
