La Croisade des enfants. Paris: Manuel Brucker, 1930. 4 o (323 x 247 mm.). ILLUSTRATION: 17 illlustrations (8 plates) by DARAGNÈS, printed in red and brown. BINDING: Contemporary Art Deco binding PIERRE LEGRAIN and JACQUES ANTHOINE-LEGRAIN with geometric triangular inlaid design of light brown, white, gray and green morocco, ruled in gilt and silver straight and dotted lines; flat spine in matching design, gilt lettered at head and foot of spine (some minor rubbing to spine ends); board morocco tipped slipcase. LIMITED EDITION, number 70 of 110 copies signed on the colophon. Printed on "vélin d'Arches." Art Deco bookbinding was born with Pierre Legrain; he is its great master (equaled only by Rose Adler), and one of the most influential and innovative binders of modern time. A proponent of a minimal aesthetic, Legrain developed a new vocabulary of ornament in bookbinding that, in opposition to the prevailing elaborate manner, was fresh, restrained and spare and, at the same time, luxurious. Enthusiastically embraced, his work was widely imitated by other binders and left a decisive mark on the art form.
