The tactile emphasis in this book’s printing and papers echoes the sensuousness appropriate to a love story.Description
Laure Albin Guillot wanted to produce a book that illustrated contemporary literature with photographs of equal quality and was itself a work of art. She chose to illustrate Paul Valéry’s poem Fragments de Narcisse, 1919–22, based on the myth of a beautiful young hunter who falls in love with his own reflection in a pond and is driven to suicide by the futility of his unrequited love.- Madame Pierre PaquettePrivate Collection, Europec. 2008Librarie Alain Brieux, Paris, Francec. 2016Eric Chaim Kline Bookseller, Santa Monica, CAPrivate Collection, United Statesc. 2016Eric Chaim Kline Bookseller, Santa Monica, CA and Librarie Alain Brieux, Paris, FranceSeptember 4, 2018The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
