Jou, Louis. - A-B-C-D. The Twenty-Four Letters of the Alpha - Lot 190

Jou, Louis. - A-B-C-D. The Twenty-Four Letters of the Alphabet, drawn and engraved by Louis Jou. Les Baux-en-Provence, l'Artiste, 1965. In-4, loose sheets in an illustrated, padded cover - [32 ff., including 2 blank pages]. Complete set of all 24 letters (excluding K and W, as originally published) and the title page, adorned with a floral design whose motif is repeated on each of the 25 leaves, within a repetitive border for the letters. Printed in a run of only 37 copies; this one is one of the 2 H-C copies (marked H-C without a number). This work, one of the last of his production, is highly representative of his typographic oeuvre, which revolutionized this art form in the 20th century. Extremely rare in this condition (like new).
