Legrand, Edy - Macao Et Cosmage, Ou, L'Experience Du Bonheur

Paris, Nouvelle Revue Francaise, 1919. Softcover. Oversized, hand-colored wraps with black lettering, (54) pp, profusely illustrated with pochoir plates throughout. "The first children's book published by NRF, and one of the masterworks of children's literature created by the young painter Edouard Warshawsky, known as Edy-Legrand, stencilled in color by Jean Saudé. The fable tells the story of a brown woman and a white man living harmoniously on an idyllic island, filled with marvelous animals and flowers, whose existence is threatened by the forces of colonialization represented by the arrival of a naval ship and its sailors. The images and compositions display the influence of Fauvism and Cubism, and the way they inhabit and move within the page has been compared by Claude-Anne Parmégiani to the syncopated rythms of jazz." -website. As is (covers soiled and worn, spine is gone, pages are loose but this is a complete copy. Images are still very bright and clear.) .
