Sobre este artículo
Paris: Editions Jardin du Luxembourg. 1948, 1948. Limited edition, number 468 of 640First edition thus with the woodcuts by Rene Ben Sussan hand coloured "au pochoir" by Edmond Vairel. Typography by A. Tallone. Printed on BFK Rives paper. 4to. 305x205mm. pp. xx, 21-312, [4]. Fifteen full page coloured woodcuts at the beginning of each chapter, specially made for this edition. These are in immaculate condition and internally the whole book is in fine condition. Bound by Giulio Giannini in red calf. Upper and lower covers with a triple fillet border in gilt, and a central panel with a triple fillet border in blind with a floral device at the corners. Inside this central panel are two pairs of curls with a fleuron and an encircled dot all in gilt. Spine has five raised bands, triple fillet in gilt to head and foot, second compartment lettered in gilt, other compartments decorated with a simple floral device in gilt. Top edge gilt, turn-ins decorated with triple fillet in blind with gilt flower in corners. Some slight surface marking to the covers and a little rubbing to the top edge of the rear board but overall a handsome binding in very good condition from one of the most celebrated Florentine binders founded in 1856 and still operating today. Les Quinze Joyes de Mariage is an anonymous medieval satire first published in Lyon in the 1480s making it one of the earliest printed books. The "joys" are, of course, no such thing, the book serving as a sarcastic warning to men to avoid the trials of matrimony. Rene Ben Sussan's beautifully coloured woodcuts capture the misogyny of the text presenting wives as lustful, deceitful, greedy, wheedling and domineering.

Sobre Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
