MAILLOL (Aristide) - LONGUS. Daphnis et Chloé. [Paris: Les frères Gonin], 1937. -In-8, 219 x 138: (4 ff. first 3 blank), 217 pp. (3 ff. last blank), illustrated cover. Beautiful edition produced with the collaboration of Gustave Édouard Gentil, presenting the Pastorales de Longus in Amyot's version, revised and completed by Paul-Louis Courier. It is illustrated with 48 original woodcuts by Aristide MAILLOL (1861-1944), including one on the cover and one on the title. The edition was printed in an edition of 500 copies on Maillol paper, plus a few hors commerce, initialed by the publisher at the justification, and signed by Maillol at the colophon. This copy (no. 473) is enriched with a suite of Maillol's woodcuts, printed on white laid paper, and 3 refused proofs with the justification "Variante. Wood refused". The proofs of the suite are foxed, but otherwise a very well preserved copy. Provenance: Pierre Jean Mathan Collection.
