Paris: En Vente a la Librairie Gumuchian & Cie, 112 Rue De Richelieu (1930). First edition of Gumuchian's Catalogue 13, the greatest of rare bookseller's catalogues in the field of children's literature and long a standard reference.

Each volume has a preface, in French, by Paul Gavault; Volume I has an introduction, in English and French, by the editors and a bibliography of works consulted; Volume II has an "Index des Planches" with the English, French, or German captions for the plates. 2 volumes, folio, illustrated with color-plates, dark blue half-morocco & marbled boards with original pictorial printed wrappers bound in, t.e.g., matching morocco-tipped marbled slipcases, by Devauchelle. A beautiful copy, bound by one of the masters of modern French book-binding, in superb condition.
