Illustrated in colour by Paul Boiraud, known as Quint, limited to 500 copies on vellum.
\nThe first 30 copies with a watercolour and a suite in black, the next 50 copies with a suite in black.<\/p>\n
AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY CONTAINING THE ILLUSTRATOR'S PREPARATORY WORK Interesting typographical binding by Ren\u00e9 Kieffer<\/strong>different from the publisher's binding. However, we know of another copy bound identically: this one bears the double signature \"Ren\u00e9 Kieffer - Inv \/ Pierre Legrain\", suggesting that the layout was designed by the latter. Ren\u00e9 Kieffer graduated at the top of his class from the \u00c9cole Estienne and worked as a bookbinder and publisher. From 1919 to 1923, he was the sole collaborator of the decorator Pierre Legrain, executing on his behalf the bindings he designed for the Jacques Doucet collection.<\/p>\n Ren\u00e9 Kieffer produced several of these so-called \"illuminated\" editions of Funny Tales<\/em>The text, probably calligraphed by the artist, complements the coloured stencil illustration. The most desirable copy of this edition.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Kieffer Library<\/em>.

\nPaul Boiraud, known as Quint, contributed to the humorous press (Laughter, Fantasia, Illustrated Fashion.<\/em>...) and worked with Cr\u00e8s, Messein and Ren\u00e9 Kieffer on a number of illustrated editions. He settled in Strasbourg, where an exhibition was devoted to him in 1954.<\/p>\n
