Black morocco listel inside, framing golden yellow moire endpapers, gilt edges, covers preserved (in gilt embossed paper). Shaped and bordered slipcase, lined with gold moire on the outside and suede on the inside (Morlent binding) - 179, [6] pp. illustrated with 52 compositions by H. [Joseph] de la Nézière. Edition at 350 copies, this one of the 12 first copies on Japon including an original watercolour by the artist, a colour state on thin Japon and a state in black (n° 12). Autograph letter from the publisher. A love story set in the tropical, lush and serene setting of Siam (Thailand) at the beginning of the 20th century. Poh Deng, a young Siamese, grows up near the young Mè Ping. A love affair develops. But as the future unfolds, Mè Ping is chosen to become a dancer at the Royal Court Ballet, while Poh Deng joins the Buddhist monks' corps. Their destinies seem to diverge... A particularly desirable copy due to the quality of its binding.
