![Pierre Lachambeaudie / Auguste Vimar - Fables [cartonnage Art Nouveau] - 1902](https://bbys.imgix.net/34/5aba67f3cb4eddca093d01d472092c33421bd5dd4c16c57940deec3521aeeca4.jpg?auto=format&w=1080&q=75)
First edition. A nice copy of this collection of Lachambeaudie's charming fables, complete with 24 full page colour illustrations by Auguste Vimar, and a similar number of duo tone illustrations. The preface is a biographical study of Lachambeaudie by Auguste Bourgoin. Beautiful green bevelled boards, with black and gilt illustrations including a couple of fabulous gilt peacocks. The rear board has been blind stamped, and the spine appears blind stamped as the gilt is considerably faded. Edges are a touch bumped but a clean copy. Inside, the pages are slightly marked, and a little darkened, with a touch of foxing to the contents page. Fractionally bumped binding. Overall though, a decent copy of this work. All edges gilt. 162, (ii). pages. 32.5 x 26.5cm. Born in Marseille in 1851 and active until his death in 1916, Auguste Vimar was a versatile artist who excelled as painter, sculptor, and illustrator. He earned acclaim for his vigorous, narrative illustrations, which fused naturalism with the sinuous lines and ornamental elegance of Art Nouveau, frequently featuring animals and spirited scenes.
