- Summary:
-
A project by a young artist of considerable promise, this book is the culmination of his Year 10 art class. Frederic Lefebvre undertook to translate, transcribe and illustrate the poetry of his grandmother, Reine Lefebvre-Legaye. With the guidance of his art teacher, Mark Finlayson, he completed the task shortly before his death. The original French poems are typeset and printed in letterpress with tipped-in aquarelles reproduced lithographically on the facing folded leaf. The first stanza of Frederic Lefebvre's handwritten English translation of each poem is reproduced on the outside cover of each sheet.--Based on a catalogue entry by Nicholas Pounder, New Series Catalogue No 4.
