L'oeuvre gravé de Albert Besnard

Paris, Chez L'Auteur [Loys Delteil], 1926.

Large quarto, [xxviii] preliminary pages plus approximately 220 unnumbered pages, comprising a fully-illustrated catalogue raisonné of 202 etchings and lithographs (and 3 unillustrated falsely-attributed pieces), plus an original etching by Besnard bound in after the dedication leaf ('La Poupée', Godefroy 72, 5th state, 216 × 136 mm, 'Dans cet état, la planche a paru en hors-texte dans les examplaires de luxe du présent ouvrage').

Contemporary half red morocco and marbled papered boards (lettered in gilt on the spine), retaining the original decorated wrappers; leather lightly marked and scuffed, with the spine a little sunned; top edge gilt, bottom edge uncut; wrappers lightly marked; tiny tear to the bottom corner of one leaf of text expertly sealed; an excellent copy (internally fine).

This is Volume 30 in Delteil's 'Le Peintre-Graveur Illustré (XIXe & XXe siècles)' series; it is also described as 'Monographies de Peintres-Graveurs Illustrées, Premier Volume' on the front wrapper.
