ROBIDA (Albert). - Lot 213
ROBIDA (Albert). The Twentieth Century. Paris, Georges Decaux, 1883. In-4, almond green cloth, polychrome composition on the boards and passing on the spine, untrimmed, cover and spine (Engel - Souze). Illustrations by Albert Robida. Le Vingtième Siècle is one of Robida's three great works of anticipation, in which the artist must transport the reader in 1952 to a Paris with 64 districts, where everyone runs everywhere and for everything, [...] where people only communicate by telephonograph or telephonoscope, where one only travels by aerocab or aircraft, always at the mercy of aerial attacks (cf. Brun, p. 26). Very nice hardback. A delivery cover is enclosed. Some light foxing, lining and white endpapers renewed.
