Lithographed three panel frontis (replicating the slipcase decoration) and three original full-plate dry- point etchings. Textual illustrations. Fine (but see below) in glassine, chemise and shelfworn slipcase. First edition. One of 150 numbered copies on Vergé de Montval, from a total edition of 180 numbered copies, all signed on the justification by Pablo Picasso, who contributed the three dry-points (two of them portraits of Jacob) and the lithographs. The textual illustrations are original woodcuts by Georges Aubert after drawings by Picasso. This collection of Jacob's essays was published as a tribute to him on what would have been the occasion of his 80th birthday. In this copy, either in error or by action of a previous owner, the title-leaf bifolium has in its place the [4]pp prospectus, with the upper panel replicating the title-page. ARTIST & THE BOOK 238.
