Ces feuilles passées au feu, froissées, plissées ont été couvertes partiellement de fine brasure de cuivre pour accrocher la lumière. Ces plaques de métal découpées et incorporées dans le veau noir constituant un décor unique. G. de Coster" (notes autographes en fin de volume).

Entirely engraved edition of this poem by Lescure, illustrated by Fiorini and beautifully bound by Germaine de Coster.
