Hémon (Louis) - Gagnon (Clarence), *Maria Chapdelaine*. Paris: Éditions Mornay, 1933. 1 volume, in-4°, bound in full havana morocco with a half-morocco slipcase, featuring a title label and a bordered slipcase. Smooth spine with author and title in gold lettering, blind-stamped and gold-stamped fillets, and a gold-stamped head. Endpapers with morocco framing and gold fillets; moiré endpapers. (Bound by Ch. Vermuyse). The slipcase requires minor restoration. Cover and spine intact; bears an ex-libris by L. Van Malderen. A copy from the first print run, one of 100 copies printed on pearly white Japanese paper; this copy bears the number 50. A very fine copy, illustrated in color by Clarence Gagnon; a monumental undertaking that took three years to complete the printing of these illustrations. Undoubtedly the finest edition of this great classic, which is of great significance in Quebec.
