Au Pays du Mufle

1920. GLEIZES, Albert. Au Pays du Mufle. By Laurent Tailhade. 162 pp. Includes a frontispiece and 10 woodcuts plus a suite of the 11 woodcuts printed in red on Japon bound at the end. Small 8vo., 175 mm. x 150 mm., bound in contemporary calf over boards with the original illustrated wrappers preserve, in a new gold cloth folding box with a navy label. Paris: Edouard-Joseph, 1920. A fine copy of this example of Cubism in book illustration by this influential member of the Cubist circle. Following a period of relative neglect, several recent exhibitions have generated considerable demand for Cubist books, which have consequently become increasingly hard to find. This particular volume is not cited in any of the standard references on modern illustrated books. One of 100 copies on yellow paper, with the suite in red, which is not called for, from a total edition of 1000.
