Huyghe, Rene — Raymond Gid, Dessins & Typographies: Apocalypse Six

Paris, Gallerie du Bac, 1945. First Edition. Softcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy, and uber-scarce in the trade, there currently being no additional copies available on-line. This is Numero 51 of only 200 copies printed, at the behest of Rene Huyghe, Conservateur au Musee du Louvre, printed on May 8, 1945, "Jour de la Cessation des Hostilites," in French language and quite lovely. Unopened top edges, original publisher's glassine wraps over the hand-made paper wraps, printed, in gate-fold, over the original wraps in French-fold. Contains original drawings, and laid in is a penciled drawing of perhaps an artist? The Table of Contents at the rear lists the following illustrations: Retraite (1940), Images Pour Maurice Sceve (1941), Typographie Pour Maurice Sceve (1941), Boxeur (1942), Enfant (1942), Nu (1943), Typographie Pour le Pater (1943), Paysan (1944), L'Aabsent (1944).Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
