Le Vrai & Le Faux Chic
Paris: Succes, 1914, March 25. Hardbound. Large folio mounted in buckram with pochoir plates, tipped-in advertisements and additional illustrations throughout. Approx. 66 pp., including 22 pp. narrative text. Condition varies, sold as a collection of plates. The front cover (with the gold scissors) is dampstained and soiled. The first three sheets of mounted ads show moisture offsetting to some degree. The next 35 pages or so (17 sheets) are virtually free of defects other than very slight waviness. Following these sheets the progression of moisture damage is rapid through the final four sheets of text and the following sheets of ads. Thus, sold as a collection of rare pochoir plates. Item #125086
See condition notes. No statement of limitation is noted, as has been described by other booksellers. Stunning and rare, a real shame that is is not in better condition. Please contact me for more information. Created by the French artist/caricaturist, George Goursat (1863-1934). His work, both written and illustrated, was full of humor, inspired by his observations of European high society.
