Gérard Gully was a French bibliophile known in the circle of collectors of rare books and original editions. His books are recognizable by his personalized ex-libris depicting him as Don Quixote, accompanied by the parodic motto in Alsatian/slang: "samen aqua touça". Besides his interest in major 20th‑century authors (such as Henry de Montherlant), he was a great admirer and passionate collector of Panait Istrati's work. Henri-Dominique Furois is a renowned French bindery artist noted for his original creations, contemporary structures and the care given to precious editions and major texts of the 20th century. A rare and precious pairing bringing together two original editions of Panait Istrati published by Rieder in 1933 in very low edition numbers. The set has been luxuriously encased in a half-leather binding with corners and a personalized tail stamp, testifying to the care bestowed by a bibliophile on this collection. A top-choice piece for a discerning collector. Dimensions (cm): 18.2 x 12.5 x 2.2 Weight (kg): 0.745 Fast and careful shipping in secure packaging.
