LES ENFANTS DES BOIS. TRADUCTION NOUVELLE.

Item Details

Paris, Theodore Lefevre, circa 1899

Very Good

Publishers pictorial red and gilt cloth, all edges gilt. 248, (4) pages.

Scarce copy with only one American copy recorded on OCLC - Johns Hopkins University - and none on NUC.  The spine is slightly faded, otherwise a glowing finely decorated copy of a French translation of Mayne Reid's The Bush Boy,- a juvenile Tale of Africa.  The binding was designed by Guerin Engel, which is spectacularly gilt stamped with scene of a young black boy leading two white men with rifles through the jungle.  Very good
