[MUSIC] Collective, Pour la musique française, douze causeries, preface by Claude DEBUSSY, Paris, Georges Crès, 1917. 1 volume in-8. Spine with nerves. Copy N°29 on vellum of Rives.
Spine worn. As is.
Copy enriched with a moving dedication from Henri FOCILLON (1881-1943) to his future wife Marguerite LÉVY-CASTELL (1878-1970) "To Madame Castell this book decorated with drawings unrelated to the text, but drawn with a sincere heart and a hesitant hand. Affectionate tribute."
The book thus includes five pen-and-ink drawings by Henri Focillon, one representing the Chartres countryside with the cathedral. All monogrammed HF with a Japanese stamp reflecting the historian's interest in Japanese Art in the early years of the 20th century.
