Ambroise Vollard Paris. Quarto. Edition n 169 of 370. one of 280 copies on vergé d'Arches, etching on original upper wrapper and title-page, a total of 55 illustrations, including 14 full-page, all by Bonnard. Mirbeau's story of a semi-wild Australian pup's life in France and his attempts to accommodate "civilization", first published in 1912 but probably known best today through this edition published by Vollard with Bonnard's etched illustrations. The project was Bonnard's first extended use of etching and drypoint, He began working on the illustrative possibilities of the novel after its initial publication, and his first sketches were published the following year (1913) in Les Cahiers d'aujourd'hui. The Vollard edition did not appear until 10 years later. The collaboration between the publisher and art dealer, Vollard, and Bonnard was of the greatest significance in the development of modern art and particularly the Livre de peinture. their first collaboration was an edition of Verlaine's "Parall'element" (1900), which is generally taken as the starting point of these magnificent artist's books.
