Un des 257 ex. ; celui-ci est un exemplaire d’artiste avec envoi de l’illustratrice. Dos insolé. "André Demaison, romancier demeuré presque inconnu, avait collaboré en tant que spécialiste de l'Afrique au 'Guide officiel' de l'Exposition coloniale de 1931. La nécrologie de l'auteur, publiée dans Le Figaro du 21 septembre 1956, dit qu'il avait mené une vie de pionnier en Afrique, Sénégal. Encouragé par les frères écrivains Jean et Jérôme Tharaud, Demaison consignait des récits au sujet de la vie africaine et du monde animal.... On sait par contre qu'outre Trois nobles bêtes, Odette Denis a également enrichi de gravures animées les Poèmes barbares (1948) de Lecomte de Lisle et Le livre de la jungle de Rudyard Kipling (1949)."

Epigrammid Epigrams I II and III all published
Tallinn: "Aktsiooni" Kirjastus 1927-1933. Octavos 16.3 x 12.5 cm. Original pictorial wrappers by Peet Aren Märt Laarman and Jaan Vahtra; 28 4; 60 4; and 63 I pp. Very good or better. Antson 1899-1945 was an Estonian teacher journalist and writer who participated in the "Aktsioon" "Action" literary group and co-published the eponymous series of almanacs 1926 1927 and 1929. In addition to his travel writing Antson was known for his plays which were often leftist and pacifist in orientation. Much of his work was influenced by expressionism and detailed the horrors of war and revolution. This collection of satirical epigrams in three volumes published over six years a final fourth volume appeared in 1946 takes sharp aim at the literary cultural but also political establishment not only in Estonia but in Europe at large witness the "Hitler" epigram in the 1933 collection!. The set also represents a striking cross-section of Estonian modernist design of the late 1920s with one wrapper each designed by Peet Aren 1889-1970 Märt Laarman 1896-1979 and Jaan Vahtra 1882-1947. Laarman was one of the outstanding followers of cubism and constructivism in Estonia. His "numerous book-covers and illustrations present the possibilities of applying such a method in the field of book graphics that is based upon the constructive rhythm of simple and expressive planes. Moreover Laarman was the first to apply the principles of Elementary Typography new at that time in the design of architectonically expressive and homogeneous books" Rein Loodus 21. In addition to his own work Laarman was also instrumental in furthering public awareness of avantgarde art: "Laarman edited and published The Book of New Art 1928 the group's programmatic almanac which helped the public develop a better understanding of the avant-garde" Art of the Baltics 38.
