An elegantly bound set of 20 collotypes. This set gathers pasted collotypes of Hector Giacomelli’s prints, some of them come from the work Ailes et Fleurs. Recognized by the intellectuals and artists of his time, among them Zola and Michelet, Giacomelli is mostly famous for his representations of birds and his illustrations of literary works.

In-folio (430 x 335 mm). 20 collotypes mounted on card (marginal soiling on the 10th collotype, some tab lightly unpasted, a few tears with loss on the first and last blue leaves). Kami-kawar binding with a floral and animal decoration (rubbed headbands and corners, a few losses on the board).
