1928 · Paris
by Hemard, Joseph
Paris: Javal et Bourdeaux, 1928. One of 600 copies on Lafuma, from a total issue of 790. Illustrated with 5 chapter headings in a rather idealized "image populare" style after color drawings by Hemard plus 106 vignettes in texte. One quickly grasps from Hemard's broad cartoon style with the caption within the graphic picture, that the geography lessons for "pupils from 20 to 60 years of age" are principally female anatomy lessons. 8vo; handsomely bound in 3/4 green morocco spine faded to brown, marbled boards, spine panelled, title gilt, top edge gilt, original covers bound in, fine.
