"Pierre LOUYS - Les chansons de Bilitis translated from the Greek Chez Sylvain Sauvage à Paris, 1927 - A very fine copy of this magnificent "Art-Déco" book illustrated by Sylvain Sauvage. Paperback in filled cover, in publisher's decorated slipcase, with a few flaws, not serious. Printed and decorated with lettering and headbands in two colors. One of 235 numbered copies on Montval laid paper, the only edition with 40 on Japon impérial and 12 of collaborators. This is one of the artist's finest productions. Enriched with a very nice ORIGINAL DRAWING by Sylvain Sauvage, not used to illustrate the book. In-4, 153pp (3)"
