From the Étienne Beauvillain library, with bookplate.

"Beautiful classical inspiration, perfection of the printing of the plates, of the typography and of the layout: harmony of the colours, richness of the gold which supports the illustration and gives to this book a rare sumptuousness. M. Barbier, who put together this volume, is one of the most knowledgeable bibliophiles of the time" (B. Martorelli, George Barbier, The Birth of Art Deco, p. 139).

Very nice condition.
