A series of color engravings with a text by Jean Bruller (also known as a writer under the pseudonym Vercors). The work was printed in an edition of 255 copies numbered in Arabic numerals; our copy with the series is numbered in Roman numerals, suggesting it was a gift copy or a contributor’s copy. Sent by the author. A very fine copy. Jean Bruller, known as Vercors, born in 1902 and died in 1991 in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, was a French illustrator and writer. He adopted the literary pseudonym Vercors in 1941 during the Resistance. Subsequently, he retained his surname for his work as an artist and his pen name as his writer’s name. His most famous novel is *Le Silence de la mer* (*The Silence of the Sea*), published clandestinely in 1942.
