About the Item
A beautiful copy of the DELUXE EDITION of a classic collection of pastoral poems and elegies by the Sicilian poet Theocritus (c. 300 B.C. – c. 260 B.C.), known for his epic and pastoral works in Greek. The energetic woodcuts that illustrate each of the stories are the work of Jean-Baptiste Vettiner (1871-1935), a French artist and engraver who studied at the École des beaux-arts de Bordeaux, moved to Paris and became active in the early 1920s in the Société de la gravure sur bois originale (Authentic Woodblock Engraving Society). His work on the Pastorales is considered one of his masterpieces, the ADDITIONAL SET OF 41 WOODCUTS PRINTED ON JAPON mounted at the rear.

DISTINGUISHED PEDIGREE: from the libraries of Robert Hoe and John Barrymore.

Their bookplates adorn the inside covers, will your bookplate be next?
