Suarès (André) - Dauchez (André) - Simon (Lucien) - Cottet (Charles) *The Book of the Emerald*. Paris, printed for the Société du livre d'art, 1914. 1 volume, large quarto, full green morocco leather with a bordered slipcase. Geometric decoration on the covers consisting of gilt fillets and cold-embossed motifs. Plain spine with gilt author’s name and title, gilt head. Inside covers framed in green morocco with wood-grain endpapers (Bound by Esther Founès). Covers and spine preserved. Spine sun-faded. A fine copy free of foxing, though—as is often the case with this work—there are ink transfers from the engraved woodcuts onto the text on the opposite page. Copy on Arches No. 5 from the first edition of 100, printed for Madame Octave Homberg. This copy is enhanced with two superb color watercolors, 16 x 10.5 cm, signed by André Dauchez. A rare work, printed in an edition of only 150 copies and illustrated by three great painters passionate about Brittany.
