Description

A beautifully-produced tribute to Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert: the site, the abbey, the cloister (now at the Cloisters in New York), and the hero-saint himself. Illustrated with a suite of 24 full-page hors-texte plates, heliogravures entirely reworked as etchings (by Dufresne after Christian), printed in sepia and blue. These etchings depict dramatic landscapes of the valley and architectural and artistic features of the abbey. From a total edition of 924 copies, this is one of a few hors-commerce copies printed on "papier de grand luxe": in this case, fine BFK Rives wove paper. Folio. Loose as issued in original wraps. Tiny wisps of wear to wraps, else uncut, unopened, fine and bright.
