Offered here is a superb original WWI gouache (18. 5 x 12.5 inches) by the famous bookbinder and artist Pierre Legrain (1889-1929), the cover design made for the legendary "La Baionnette" (June, 29,1916). Gouache, ink and collage on paper mounted to card, signed lower right and dated ì16." A fabulous and dynamic image with bayonet lashing into a shield, exquisite graphic lettering and composition. For this modern master, it was strictly personal; his mother was Belgian. Pierre Legrain, born in Levallois-Perret, France in 1889, became associated with Jacques Doucet in 1919, who entrusted him with the binding of his books. In 1920, he exhibited his first bindings at the Salon des Artistes DÈcorateurs, while pursuing other artistic endeavors, including painting and graphic arts. He developed into one of France's premier bookbinders, and his paintings go for very high prices at auction.
