Exemplaire impeccable de cette superbe édition. Carteret, Illustrés IV, 210 (« belle illustration, édition fort recherchée. Tour de force d’impression typographique, pour la parfaite réalisation des bois en couleurs. Grande vedette du livre moderne illustré ») ; Mahé, II, col. 414 ; The Artist and the Book, n°167 (à propos de Lepère : « Under Lepère’s guidance, the French revival of wood-engraving reached a rare technical perfection”) ; Ray, The Art of the French illustrated Book, 328 (“When Carteret asserted in 1948 that A rebours was a “great star of the modern illustrated book” the judgement may have seemed surprising. It is now a truism”).
