He soon became one of the leading illustrators and costume designer of that time. Hermant's novel "Phili, ou par-delà le bien et le mal" is about a prince Philippe-Egon and the beautiful young girl Sophie. The story unfolds in a flamboyant setting of luxury, dance and seduction. The novel is complemented by the exquisite images of Brunelleschi, which exemplify the emerging Art Deco style of the 1920s. Occasionally some offsetting from plates as normal and some leaves with light browning to outer edge. Two plates with small light crease at margin but it's a great fresh copy of Brunelleschi's chef-d'oeuvre. Ercoli G. Il Pochoir Art Déco' pp. 32.
