This is a fine edition with very fine floral decoration reminiscent of the illustrations in the Pleasures and Days by Proust, which Madeleine Lemaire illustrated a few years earlier.
"Eight tens of rosaries, for the use of artistic fingers and distinguished hearts, still distant enough from religious perfection to associate literature with them."
