GUIERRE, Maurice.
Proof woodcut "L'Angoisse des Veilles Sous-Marins".
Inscribed to the Captain of the great ocean liner SS France.
Titled at head, and with the artist’s pencil inscription below, presenting the engraving to Commandant Maurras, the captain of the SS France which had just returned to peace-time service: “son jeune camarade sous marinier en souvenir d’une charmante traversé sur France. 1h 22 avril 1920.*”* [His young submariner shipmate, in memory of a delightful crossing on the France.] The engraving bears the title of Guierre’s first book, and may be an illustration from it.
Soft creases, and some damage to the paper margins, nowhere near the image.
