Buffet, Bernard. Cyrano de Bergerac. Voyages fantastiques aux etats et empires de la lune et du soleil. Paris Joseph Foret 1958
One of 197 copies on Rives B.F.K., from a total issue of 231. Page size: 16-1/4 inches x 13 inches. Illustrated with two double-page drypoints and 16 single page drypoints, this is a wonderful example of some of Buffet's best work. Printed by Dominique Viglino in hand-set "Erame Corps Vingt- huit" which was especially made for this edition and with the initial letters also especially made from wood-cuts and printed in blue, this is a superbly set book. The drypoints were pulled on the presses of Roger Lacouriere and Jacques Frelaut. Buffet's images of man with wings trying to reach another world are amusing, touching and inspiring. Bound: original publisher's wrappers, yellow linen chemise and etui, book fine and fresh, case a bit dusty and rubbed.
