The Flax Mill. With a preface from Childhood and Youth Memories. Paris, Librairie L. Conquet, Carteret and Company, 1901. In-8, walnut morocco, gilded fillets, spine similarly decorated, inner frame with gilded fillets, brocaded silk lining and endpapers, gilt edges on witnesses, cover and spine, case (Canape 1906). 27 original etchings by Edmond Rudaux. Edition at 300 copies: one of the 150 copies of great choice, this one on Marais vellum, including the illustrations in double state, with a separate edition before the letter. Prospectus (4 pages) added. Impeccable Canape binding: the brocaded silk used for the lining and the guards is very charming.
