LONGUS. Daphnis and Chloe. Translated by Messire Jacques Amyot, revised by P.-L. Courrier, and with a Preface by M. Eug. Marsan. Paris, n.p., 1925. An 8vo volume, paperback with a full-color cloth-bound cover, accompanied by a later Art Deco-patterned slipcase and dust jacket. An illustrated edition featuring 35 compositions by Sylvain Sauvage, woodcuts in color created in collaboration with Pierre Bouchet. A print run of 160 copies; this one is one of 115 printed on special Arches vellum, no. 105, signed by the artist. A beautiful copy, still in its original paperback binding, housed in an elegant slipcase and an Art Deco case added later, both perfectly matching the book’s aesthetic.
