First edition of this masterpiece of children's literature - EDY-LEGRAND. Macau and Cosmage or the Experience of Happiness. P., Nouvelle Revue Française, (1919), 4th square, stenciled cardboard (stained plates, relaxed broaching, traces of use). First edition on Lafuma paper. Published in 1919 by the Nouvelle Revue Française, "Macao et Cosmage" was one of the very first albums to privilege the image, thus operating a real revolution in the conception of children's books. Edy-Legrand (1892-1970) offers here the splendid testimony of an artist whose large plates marked by the influence of the avant-gardes of the 1900s herald the approach of the greatest contemporary illustrators.
