Compiled by Lawrence Saphire and Patrick Cramer, the catalogue raisonné
describes all the illustrated books, albums and catalogues containing
original etchings or lithographs by André Masson.
The volume begins with a poem written especially by P.A.Benoit followed by
a preface by Lawrence Saphire.
There follow the descriptions of the 120 titles with 604 photolithographic
plates of which 428 polychrome works are reproduced in full colour whilst
those in black and white are printed in black.
Facsimiles of the colophons of the books described, chronological and
alphabetical indexes of titles, and an index of authors and publishers,
complete the work.
The book contains 304 pages and measures 12 9/16 x 9 1/16 in. / 320 x 230
mm. It is bound in cloth, has an illustrated coloured dustjacket and is
contained in a cloth slipcase.
French and English editions are published simultaneously.
