Order Nr. 27808

Limited to 1250 copies designed by Bruce Rogers (Warde 159) and printed by William Edwin Rudge. Lacking the slipcase. Front hinge cracked, else a very good copy. First edition reprinted along with an English version, with an introduction and typographical note by Eddy.

The typography is by the notable American book designer Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), who "was appreciated in his lifetime. In addition to several honorary degrees, in 1948 he was awarded a gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters for distinction in the graphic arts. Over decades of accomplishment in which he designed approximately 500 books... Rogers literally defined the profession of book designing in the United States" (ANB).
