Lot no. 265
[CARACCIOLI (Louis-Antoine)]. The Book of Four Colours. Aux Quatre-Éléments, de l'imprimerie des Quatre-Saisons, 4444 [Liège, J.-F. Bassompierre, ca. 1760]. In-12, paperback, grey paper cover, handwritten title, untrimmed. Second edition of this typographical tour de force printed in four colours. "With "no real antecedents and no immediate posterity", Caraccioli's books heralded "the search for an 'expressive typography' which, combined with the ambitions of 'visual poetry', would give rise to masterpieces of the art of the book, such as the monumental Prose du transsibérien illustrated by Sonia Delaunay", writes Didier Travier. Tired cover; small marginal rings.
