Monod 11339 "Il existe des suites en noir et en sanguine, formant un volume séparé" - The Artist and the Book 175 - Guérin 159-215. - One of 750 num. Copies. - The last book illustrated by Maillol, printed on hemp handmade paper specially scooped for this edition. Maillol had already been working on individual sticks since 1909, and again from 1937 on Gonin's initiative; the last woodblock was completed in September 1944. However, printing could not be completed until after the end of the war in 1950. Counterpart to the eclogues already produced on the Cranach press in 1926. The illustrations cut in classical outlines are considered to be Maillol's most artistically mature woodcut works. - Untrimmed copy. - Minimally browned in margins, occasional foxing. - Etched bookplate "Paul Schlesinger" on flyleaf endpaper.
