Maillol's illustrated edition of Virgil's homoerotic pastoral poems—copy 123 of 225 on handmade paper. "As early as 1908, Count Kessler, the director of the Cranach Presse, was attracted to Maillol's sculpture and invited the artist to go with him to Greece, where the Virgil project was conceived . . . a classical spirit pervades the finished volume, from the harmonious composition of the type to the slightly archaic grace of the figures" (The Artist & The Book). Due to the war, the project was not finished until 1927; it is dedicated to William Morris and Emery Walker. The Artist & The Book 172.
Folio (324 x 247mm). Woodcuts by Maillol throughout (slightest foxing). Modern maroon jansenist morocco, title gilt on spine.
