Bemerkung:

Excellent copy of the album Toi founded by Maison Les Fourrures Max and illustrated by Jean Dupas for the poems of Colette. One of the most beautiful catalogues created in art-déco."Ce bel étui noir, onré de fleurs rouges et argent, contient de superbes planches en camaieu gris et noir. La provocation des nus féminins que Jean Dupas a drapé des fourrures de la novelle collection est atténué par leur hiératisme de statue" (in 'Arts et Métiers Graphiques' No.1, 1927 - Bibliothèque Exposition Forney 1988. No.18). Jean Dupas (Bordeaux 1882 - 1964), Grand Prix de Rome of painting in 1910, lead this album to the summit of publicity. - Some text-pages verso with mist of stains, otherwise a superb copy of this mark stone of art deco.
