Silvia Rennie has done her interpretation of the two Marceau illustrations of his famous character Bip (the face of Bip, facing the titlepage & the back of Bip s head, at the end of the text); these are treated as free-form cut-out leather onlays, the face of Bip in black & red (for the flower), and white and red on black for the back of his head on the back cover.

When the box is opened it reveals the pull-out tray which is built into a specially made platform, which also supports the book; the inner surfaces of the box are lined in a thick, fine red suede leather to protect the binding. The book, loose plates and box are in fine condition, and represent a fine example of Silvia Rennie s work on a large format (folio) and fairly scarce book.

Telle que vous la recevez, la disposition de cet ouvrage n' est qu' une proposition. Vous pouvez vous-meme en promener les images tout au long du texte. Elles ne sont pas foliotees.
