[Rarebooks] FS: Hugo's NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS with woodcuts & SIGNED by Frans Masereel

[Charles Agvent]

HUGO, Victor. NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS. Paris: Limited Editions Club, 1930. 
Two quarto volumes (7-3/4" x 10-1/8") bound in pink Ingres paper 
wrappers. Introduction by Andrew Lang and illustrated with woodcuts by 
Frans Masereel. George Macy noted that upon reception of their copies, 
many members felt "cheated because the two volumes were paperbound. We 
had to bind in hard cases, American fashion, most of the copies." That 
said, of the approximately two dozen copies we have handled over the 
years, all but two were in their original paper wrappers, as is this 
copy. 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 the 
printed number "444" is struck through and "Office Copy" is handwritten. 
Acquired directly from the publisher's family. Mostly unopened. Some 
chipping and cracking to the paper spines, resulting in a bit of 
looseness to some signatures. Still Very Good in glassines with tears 
and a Near Fine later chemise and Very Good slipcase with a split, made 
for the publisher. (#015601)        $400
