Rabelais; Louis Moland
Oeuvres de Rabelais. Texte collationné sur les Editions originales avec une vie de l'auteur des notes et un glossaire par Louis Moland. 2 Tomes
Garnier Freres 1928. Soft cover. Good. Gustave Doré. 2 volume set. Tome premier XLVI 2 434 pages tome second 527 pages. Both volumes have clear plastic covers taped in causing covers endpapers and TOC to have large brown adhesive tape residue stains. The paper wraps and first few pages are also lightly foxed. There are two prominent creases stress mark lines in the spine of each volume. These are the defects that stand out. Imperfections that are noticeable only under close inspection: the binding is probably weak and appears strong because of the plastic protectors. The text seems bright clean and sharp but in fact about 10% has faint foxing concentrated in volume one including page foredges masked by deckling. Dampstain in the margins of the last few pages of volume two. Still attractive complete two volume set in general overall presentation. <br/> <br/> Garnier Freres paperback

Publisher's white buckram pictorially stamped and lettered in gilt on front cover and spine pictorial end-papers top edge gilt others uncut. Corners slightly bumped some light foxing to preliminary leaves and blank margins otherwise a very good copy.<br /> <br /> A favorite author of the French Renaissance François Rabelais’s wild stories of adventuring giants Gargantua and Pantagruel still entertains today. Consisting of five novels the humorous and satirical narratives allowed for the humanist Rabelais to explore and critique everything from superstition to marriage. <br /> <br /> This edition of Rabelais was “Robinson’s largest and most ambitious project to date….The Works of Rabelais which was published in two large volumes containing a hundred full page illustrations and well over a hundred smaller drawings and vignettes… It is the full page drawings that are the most original with visions of hell that are truly horrific and a raw power and earthiness in the drawings that is exactly in tune with Rabelais’ narrative style. These drawings must have influenced illustrators who followed and many of them bring to mind the work of Mervyn Peake forty years later†Beare. “The last serious piece of illustration that Robinson undertook in this first phase of his book illustrating career†Lewis.<br /> <br /> Beare 35A; Lewis p. 215.

The Works.
London: privately printed for the Navarre Society Limited 1921. Third Heath Robinson edition. The works of Rabelais illustrated by William Heath Robinson were commissioned by Grant Richards and first published as two large quarto volumes in 1904.

Scarce in the dust jackets. 2 vols octavo. Monochrome frontispieces with tissue guards and 254 black and white illustrations in the text including 100 full-page all by Heath Robinson. Original blue moiré cloth titles and climbing vine decoration to spines gilt fleur-de-lys device and twin rules to front boards gilt top edges gilt. With dust jackets. Small ownership signature to front free endpapers. Extremities a little rubbed endpapers lightly toned the occasional spot to contents cloth bright. An excellent set in lightly rubbed and chipped jackets with tanned spine panels. hardcover
