"The entire plan of this volume was drawn up by Henri Matisse, who himself selected the works to be reproduced. The cover-design and the original lithograph which forms the frontispiece were made by the artist especially for this publication."

Portraits, by Henri Matisse
with original lithograph and 93 Matisse illustrations

First edition, one of only 500 copies, of the English-language issue of Matisse's Portraits. (There were 2350 copies printed of the much more common French-language issue.) Lavishly illustrated with original lithograph (as frontispiece), 60 black and white portraits, and 33 mounted color plates. With introduction by Matisse. Mild wear to slipcase. A beautiful, fine copy. Scarce, especially in such fine condition.
