“The work was subscribed to in particular by Paul Guillaume, Jacques Doucet and Paul Poiret. Another editorial detail: this is the first time the illustrations clearly bear a title, as none of the previous books had captions or titles for the plates. Here, too, Kahnweiler favored Holland paper to the exclusion of Japanese paper.” (Librairies Illi et l’Exemplaire, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler éditeur, 9).
