Sobre este artículo
Paris: Léon Pichon, 1921. Edition Nouvelle. No. 353 OF 967 COPIES. 283 x 222 mm. (11 1/8 x 8 3/4"). 180, [1] pp. (colophon).
Publisher's brown paper wrappers, uncut edges (spine and fore edges very neatly reinforced with Japanese rice paper). In a (slightly scuffed) marbled paper slipcase. With 105 woodcut head- and tailpieces, woodcut initials, and printer's device by Hermann-Paul. Half title page and title page printed in red and black as are the initials, chapter headings printed in red. ◆Occasional faint offsetting from woodcuts, otherwise a fine copy internally, in a solid and very clean binding.
Striking Modernist woodcuts by French artist René Georges Hermann-Paul enliven our edition of this comic masterpiece, in which Rabelais (ca. 1494-1553) uses the giant Gargantua and his son Pantagruel to satirize scholastic education, the monastic system (which Rabelais knew from his time as a monk), the papacy, French magistrates, and considerably more. Hermann-Paul (1864-1940) was a French artist who produced a great many illustrations for magazines and newspapers, and his works of fine art found themselves displayed in galleries next to those by some of the great names of the Impressionist age..

Sobre Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books an Manuscripts was established in 1978 on a ping pong table in a basement in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From the beginning, its founder was willing to sell a range of material, but over the years, the business has gravitated toward historical artifacts that are physically attractive in some way--illuminated material, fine bindings, books printed on vellum, fore-edge paintings, beautiful typography and paper, impressive illustration. Today, the company still sells a wide range of things, from (scruffy) ninth century leaves to biblical material from all periods to Wing and STC imprints to modern private press books to artists' bindings. While we are forgiving about condition when something is of considerable rarity, we always try to obtain the most attractive copies possible of whatever we offer for sale.
