Morin (Louis), *Montmartre s'en va...* Paris, printed for Jean Borderel, 1908. 1 volume, large quarto, modern binding in black half-shagreen with corner pieces, ribbed spine with engraved author’s name and title. Covers preserved without the spine. Fifty numbered copies were printed from this volume; this one, unnumbered, was printed specifically for Mr. Th. Mortreuil. A copy free of foxing, though curiously with pinholes on the title page; the work is illustrated with 31 color etchings by the author and is accompanied by two black-and-white sets, one of which includes a note. A rare work by this famous French illustrator, caricaturist, and painter. His first illustrated contribution dates back to 1880 for the newspaper *La Caricature*. At *Le Chat Noir*, he created the drawings for Maurice Vaucaire’s *Carnaval de Venise* for the shadow theater. From January 1900 to January 1901, he edited and illustrated *La Revue des quat’ saisons* for publisher Paul Ollendorff, producing more than 400 illustrations. Beginning in November 1900, he contributed to publications by the publisher and bookbinder Charles Meunier. He received the gold medal at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris.
