Title page, Justification page and ten color lithographs created cooperatively by the participants, each print having been created by two or three of the artists, as shown on the diagram at the top of the Justification page. Printed by Edmond and Jacques Desjobert on Arches paper. Housed in a chemise and slipcase. 16 x 12 inches. OCLC locates only two copies. The plates in Fine condition; the chemise and slipcase with some wear and foxing. These works were done while the four artists were living together in the south of France during WWII, where their informal art colony became known as the "Groupe de Grasse."

It was only after things returned to normal after the end of the war that the artists undertook to publish this portfolio.
