Lot no. 208
SAINT-POL-ROUX Pierre Paul Roux, known as (1861-1940). Les Reposoirs de la Procession. 1901-1907; 3 vol. in-12, burgundy half-maroquin with corners, smooth spines, gilt heads, covers, slipcases (Semet et Plumelle). Very largely an original edition. Les Reposoirs originally published in a single volume in 1893 reappear here as a triptych: La Rose et les Épines du chemin (1901); De la Colombe au Corbeau par le Paon (1904); Les Féeries intérieures (1907). ☞ Each volume is one of 7 copies on Hollande signed by the author (no. 4, no. 1, no. 5). The second title, De la Colombe au Corbeau par le Paon, is undoubtedly the copy of Octave Mirbeau, book dedicatee. The author's autograph signature surrounds Mirbeau's printed name. A very fine copy.
