Description

Splendid edition of Apollinaire's poem published in 1911: Orpheus and the animals of his retinue are represented in 30 original engravings (8 double-page engravings) to which are added two nt engravings and a double page on the title page, for a total of 33 plates. We report the Colophon: Réalisées entièrement dans l’atelier Daragnes à Montmartre, la composition et l’impression typographique de cette édition du Bestiaire de G. Apollinaire ont été achevées le 19 Février 1962. La mise en page et la présentation ont été établies par les Editions d’art Les Heures Claires. The original burins of Tavy Notton were shot on the bras presses of Manuel Robbe in Paris. This edition is limited to 200 numbered copies: 136 with only the volume of illustrated text, 64 in which the text is accompanied by collections of loose plates and original drawings. Our specimen is number 7 and is part of the selection of 7 specimens (Numérotés de 1 à 7) with the following characteristics: 7 exemplaires sur Japon nacré comprenant: a double cuivre, an original double design, a suite en bistre sur vélin d'Arches, a suite en noir sur vélin d'Arches and an éprouve sur soie de chacune des neuf double pages. Unfortunately, the copy in our possession is not complete: only the loose-leaf volume on Japon nacré paper and the two suites of plates (9 double-page and 24 full-page) in bistro and black on vélin d'Arches are present in the box; the other elements indicated in the Justificatione du tirage are missing.
