In-4, folio size, printed cover with gilded edges, in a slipcase and box. Frontispiece, 35 color woodcuts by Maurice Denis, including 10 full-page plates. Scattered foxing. Printed in an edition of 201 copies on Arches vellum; COPY PRINTED FOR MAURICE DENIS. One of the artist’s last major bibliophilic projects, undertaken as early as 1926, the printing of which—particularly complex—had to be restarted three times over a period of 14 years.
