Written by Roger Avermaete with illustrations by May Néama.
Published by Editions Le Colibri in 1947.
A First Edition.
Created for The National Festival of Dance in Anvers.
One (number 80) of only 125 produced.
Inscribed by the artist ‘A Mr Rev et Madame Dye Amicalement May Néama’.
The original buff coloured folio with red and blue lettering contains another folder and four hand-coloured lithograph plates.
Size of plates : 32 x 24.7 cms or 12.5 x 9.5 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The cover is slightly torn at the top and at the base to a length 10cms but still holds together. I have made a very small repair to a short tear using ‘invisible’ archival tape. One corner in particular is creased; another is slightly creased. It is faintly foxed and otherwise marked but in the main clean. The interior folder and the coloured sheets are slightly tanned at the edges but remain fresh and clean. All corners are lightly rubbed.
