Leaves, filled cover, publisher's gray cloth slipcase. Beautiful edition with a preface by Jean Giono, published by Bernard Klein. It is illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Kisling after MODIGLIANI, and 18 compositions by Moïse KISLING (1891-1953), 12 of which are reproduced in color (10 full-page and 2 in the text) by D. Jacomet, and 6 woodcuts by Pierre Bouchet (5 lettrines and a cul-de-lampe). Bouchet also printed the text. The cover includes a reproduction of the score of Érik Satie's air de la vie de Bohème. A chapel copy, unnumbered, one of the few on japon nacré, including a suite of color reproductions on vélin de Hollande, and a suite of lettrines on chine. The chine suite is preserved in a hand-laid paper folder, featuring Satie's score. Also included is a pur fil vellum print of Modigliani's portrait, not mentioned in the justification. The suite of black plates is missing, and was also absent from the only other copy of the first edition that we were able to locate. A few scattered brown spots.
