This bestiary consists of a series of 27 text booklets—the first of which is a fold-out—and 3 triptychs, printed on heliographic paper. It is illustrated with 41 compositions by Robert LAGARDE, reproduced full-page, as well as numbers and titles calligraphied by Roland SIG (1927–1985). This copy is enhanced by this autograph dedication signed by the author on the first page: To Arsène Bonafous-Murat // for all the interest he // has shown in this book, // and to celebrate our // meeting /// Guy Cabanel The author himself also noted in the colophon that two additional copies were printed in October 1960, one of which is undoubtedly this one. Very well-preserved copy, complete with a bookmark stating: “Caution. Do not use a paper cutter.”
