Description
THE VERY FIRST EDITION IN SPANISH translated by Roberto J. Payro and printed in Buenos Aires by La Nacion.
This quality is often wrongly attributed to the Barcelona edition of Maucci, published the same year.
Second volume of Four Gospels, Émile Zola's last novel cycle, Work was published by Fasquelle in 1901, as is this Argentinian edition.
Copy of Émile Zola with this autograph letter signed by the director of La Nacion.
"To Mr. Emile Zola,
recuerdo de "La Nacion
José de Aragon
"ADMINISTRATOR DE LA NACION
Bsaires, Mayo 29, [1]901."
A fine copy in richly decorated full morocco, with silk flyleaves and endpapers. Luxurious cover, probably made in Argentina before Zola was given the volume.
A very rare edition which seems to be absent from all institutions.
Contemporary binding. Full green morocco richly decorated with friezes, frames and fleurons, smooth spine, gilt title, countersides edged with friezes, lined with silk, silk endpapers, all edges gilt, bookmark. Rubbing on the spines. The green morocco is almost uniformly faded, turning brown.
