Description
Original 8-page section from Verve (Paris, 1939), titled “Mythological Figures.” This is a substantial, related group rather than a single page: the opening title page, multiple illustrated text pages, and the closing page, all centered on mythological subjects interpreted through vivid medieval-style miniatures and literary commentary. The sequence includes scenes tied to Leda, Bacchus, Venus, Vulcan, Mercury, Pluto, Cerberus, and other classical figures, with the text signed at the end by Jules Supervielle.
* Authentic 1939 Verve material, printed in Paris for one of the most admired pre-war art reviews
* Complete 8-page mythological section with numerous color miniature reproductions across the gathering
* Strong decorative appeal: jewel-toned manuscript-style images paired with period literary text
* Desirable as a research piece, display piece, or for collectors breaking down Verve into themed sections
* Condition: light age toning, normal handling and edge wear, and fold/binding evidence consistent with an original 1939 section
This is a visually rich and unusually complete mythological suite from Verve, with much more presence than a single leaf. Please view all photos for completeness, condition, and layout.
