Le Voyage De Babar
Editions du Jardin des Modes, Conde Nast, Paris, 1932.
First edition, first issue. Folio. Red cloth spine and colour pictorial boards. In the remains of the original unprinted glassine wrapper. Pictorial endpapers and colour illustrations throughout by the author, including some wonderful double page images. A fine copy, with only the tiniest traces of rubs to extremities. Original glassine wrapper split in sections and torn and with loss, but having protected the book very well.
The second book about Babar the Elephant. This is the French edition, which is the true first, preceding the UK edition by 3 years. Scarce, particularly so in such immaculate condition.
