DENIS, Maurice (1879-1943) et André GIDE (1869-1951)
Le Voyage d'Urien. Paris : Librairie de l'art indépendant, 1893.
Édition originale du premier livre illustré par Maurice Denis. Exemplaire enrichi d'une lettre de l'éditeur à l'artiste : "Avec beaucoup de talent, extrêmement d'imagination, vous avez, sur les marges de la réalité, prodigué les plus subtils joyaux du Rêve." Maurice Denis réalisa l'illustration à la demande d'André Gide, qui avait admiré ses dessins non publiés pour Sagesse de Verlaine au Salon des Indépendants de 1891. "Here Denis best achieved his goal in book illustration, which he considered to be the decoration of a book, without servitude to the text, but with an embroidery of arabesques on the pages, an acompaniement of expressive lines. This little known item is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau, the style of the nineties to which the graphic work of Denis and the Nabis made an important contribution" (The Artist and the Book, p. 58). Carteret, IV, p. 184.

In-8 carré (200 x 187 mm). Tirage limité à 300 exemplaires sur vélin, celui-ci le n° 297, signé par l'éditeur.

Reliure de l'époque : demi-maroquin vert, dos à nerfs orné de filets et fleurons à froid, couverture conservée.
