Lot Details

With Fifty Drawings By Alexander Calder, Harrison Of Paris, 1931, limited edition number 108 of 595 on Auvergne hand-made paper, 124pp (3), light blue paper jacket (spine taped), red outer and slipcase (taped), ex owners name stamp to FEP. A very scarce copy. In this edition, based upon that of 1692, in order not to lose any of the savour of Elizabethan diction, the old spelling has been retained, with all its inconsistencies; but, for the sake of legibility, the original edition has not been followed in the arbitrary use of capital letters and italics.
