262. TRÉMOIS (Pierre-Yves) & ROSTAND (Jean). Rostand meets Trémois. Paris, M. Trinckvel, 1977. In sheets, in a filled illustrated cover and cloth and plexiglas slipcase of the edition and inlay of a sculpture. First edition limited to 1000 numbered copies on Job coated card accompanied by a gilt metal sculpture numbered and signed by the designer, painter, engraver and sculptor Pierre-Yves Trémois (1921-2020). Frédéric Birr (1949-1991) has reproduced all the works that Trémois did for the biologist and philosopher Jean Rostand (1894-1977), who had just passed away, printing them in black on folded cards in a complex editorial project. The story goes that when he asked the artist if he wanted a preface, Trémois replied by sending him a sculpted egg entitled Genèse.I., without further explanation. It is this allegorical egg that accompanies the book. Traces and slight wear on the cover, spine unstained, other minor defects.
