Christmas issue of a weekly magazine of drawings and engravings, with accompanying text, especially desirable owing to the inclusion of a signed Louis Icart print, “Le jardin japonais.” The cover is detached, and there is slight rippling, owing to dampness, to the lower right corners of the first few pages, not affecting the Icart print. The Icart and many other pages of this magazine are very suitable for framing. I am offering the issue intact. It would make a very original, surprising and unique present for some lucky individual or couple on your holiday gift list. $200 |
