Description

FIRST EDITION of the complete songs and poems of Alfred Rossel (1841-1926), the main figure of the Norman cultural revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (a second edition was published, several years after the author's death.) Many of the texts are in Cotentinais, the Norman patois he did so much to promote. Many are accompanied by printed music. VIII, 263 pp + 10 hors-texte plates (two photographic portraits, four original etchings, and four phototypes of drawings). From a total edition of 700 numbered copies, this is ONE OF ONLY FIVE (5) COPIES ON IMPERIAL JAPANESE PAPER, SIGNED BY ROSSEL ON THE JUSTIFICATION PAGE. 4to. Original wraps. Uncut. Tiny traces of wear to wraps, internally FINE AND BRIGHT. Not in WorldCat or the BibliothËque Nationale. Copies on Japon impÈriale, like this one, are obviously of the greatest rarity.
