SILVESTRE, Armand. Floréal. 1912.

First edition.
Very nice edition enriched with illustrations by Georges Cain printed in several colors. Each chapter is adorned with an inset engraving and an engraved headband and end-engraving which frames the text.

Massenet sets the heroes of this spring of 1799 to music and leaves us the music sheets.
Jules Clarétie who writes the preface tells us: "[...] Among these books, I do not know, I repeat it, of more original than this one. It seems that all the arts wanted to fraternize in these pages and find themselves, under the same cover, like the heroes of Floréal under the same spring sky. ".
