1962 The Jerusalem Windows Marc Chagall Lithographs

Description: Beautiful example of the printer’s work: two original color lithographs by Marc Chagall and 36 color lithographs “after Chagall” by Charles Sorlier. These windows were designed by Chagall as a “modest gift to the Jewish people” and are installed in Israel. The book captures some of the sketches, and mock-ups done with text by Leymarie explaining the process, both physically and the thought process behind the design. The Book is in very good condition with light soiling to the boards and further soiling held at bay by library wrap. “This book which was compiled by Andre Sauret was completed on June 7, 1962. The texts by Jean Leymarie were composed by Hand in “Romain du Roi” and were printed by the Imprimerie Nationale de France. The thirty-six preparatory color designs some of which are in twenty colors, were transferred to the stones by Charles Sorlier under the direction of Marc Chagall. These designs and the two original lithographs by Marc Chagall were printed by Mourlot Freres. The other reproductions and the binding are by Draeger Freres”.Very Good Condition: folio: red cloth boards with gilt lettering to the front and spine: small spot on front: light soiling: endpapers are a landscape of The Mountains of Judaea from the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center: photos of windows and the details in color are by S.
