MERIMEE, Prosper. CARMEN. New York: Limited Editions Club, 1941. Quarto
(8-3/8" x 11") bound in bright and colorful hand-blocked gypsy silk
cloth. Illustrated with 37 beautiful ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHS in color drawn
on the plates by Jean Charlot. Of a total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED
by the artist on the colophon page, this is one of only 15 Presentation
Copies with the publisher's blindstamp attesting to such on the colophon
page where instead of a number the initials "G.M." are handwritten.
Acquired directly from the publisher's files, and most likely the
publisher George Macy's very own copy. Perhaps the most stunning and
underrated of the early books from the press. Spine a little darkened,
much less than usual. About Fine in a complete, Very Good slipcase with
a split at the bottom edge. (#016354) $450
