ALEXEÏEFF, Alexandre (1901-1982) et Hans ANDERSEN (1805-1875). Images de la lune. Paris : Union Bibliophile de France - Maximilien Vox, 1942.

L'un des plus beaux livres illustrés par Alexandre Alexeïeff, qui réalise en quelque sorte le voeu d'Andersen: "Je vous donne, sans les choisir, quelques unes des esquisses que j'ai pu prendre au cours de ces nuits qui chantèrent pour moi. Je ne fais que transcrire ce que j'ai entendu. Peut-être qu'un jour un peintre, un poète ou un musicien de génie en tirera une oeuvre éclatante. Moi, je ne veux que tracer sur le papier des croquis légers, auxquels mes pensées personnelles serviront parfois d'intermède. D'ailleurs, la lune n'est pas entrée chez moi tous les soirs. Souvent, entre son visage et mon attente s'est suspendu le voile d'un nuage".

In-4 (330 x 235 mm), en feuilles. 30 lithographies originales hors-texte d'Alexeïeff (comme toujours, reports des planches).Typographie de Maximilien Vox. Un des 995 exemplaires sur vélin de Lana, réservés à l'Union Bibliophile de France, celui-ci le n°127, signé par l'éditeur à la justification. Sous couverture rempliée, jaquette rose de l'éditeur, Chemise et étui d'éditeur (quelques salissures et manques).

One of the finest books illustrated by Alexeïeff.
