Paris: Librairie Damascène Morgand, 1903. paper wrappers, glassine jacket. Poetry. 8vo. paper wrappers, glassine jacket. (v), 574-804 pages. Bulletin Mensuel, No. 58--Décembre 1903. Monthly catalogue issued by the Paris bookseller Damascène Morgand, which by 1903 was operated by Édouard Rahir (Blogie 673). This bulletin is devoted exclusively to French poetry and includes several illustrations reproduced from the items offered for sale. The wrappers are discolored, especially at the edges. The front wrapper has come loose almost completely at the hinge and is missing a small piece (less than one inch in diameter) near the upper left corner; the back wrapper has a crack at the top near the hinge but is otherwise firmly attached . The edges of the leaves are worn, but the text block is solid and complete. A loosely laid-in bookplate indicates that this copy came from the H. P. Kraus reference library and stock.
