Sobre este artículo
An octavo, bound in original olive green cloth with gilt spine title and pictorial pastedown on the upper cover. Jessie King did the illustrations for this book by taking her watercolors and paper with her early in the morning to capture the play of light on the Seine. It was first published by Gowan and Gray in 1911, with the French language edition following in 1912. There were only 1,000 copies of the book printed, far fewer with the French text than the English. Eighteen color plates by King capture her affection for the city she and E.A. Taylor loved nearly as much as their village home of Kirkcudbright. There is some light browning and foxing, else a fine copy of a scarce title. The color cover illustration, different than the one used on the English edition, was lacking and has been supplied in facsimile. The book beautifully captures the artist's unique combination of technical skill and romantic whimsy. (White, 92, describing only a French text edition in paper wrappers).
