CASANOVA (Giacomo): Memoirs. Illustrated with original watercolors by Jacques TOUCHET. Paris, Éditions du Rameau d'Or, Paul Cotinaud, s.d. (1950). 12 volumes. 18,5 by 23,5 cm. Half blue basane, 5 nerves, decorated case. Covers and spines preserved. Spines slightly sunned (more marked on volume 1). 4 small stains in the margin of pages of volumes 2 and 5 (without any gravity). Otherwise very good condition. Copy on vellum of the Boucher paper mills, N°871 of 1000. Edition abundantly illustrated with numerous watercolors by Jacques TOUCHET (nearly 260 original watercolors). In addition, there are nearly 300 lettering and vignettes, joyfully libertine. It is undoubtedly the major work of Jacques TOUCHET. Of a great fidelity to the text, noting the joy and the humor which transpire there, with a work of colors which returns marvelously well the atmospheres lit with the candle, it is a treat. For it is rare that an author and an illustrator have so much complicity The bound copies are not frequent
