[JOU, LOUIS]. Ronsard, Pierre de.

Sonnets Pour Helene.

Paris Les Livres de Louis Jou 1927 Folio. 152 pp. From an edition of 258 copies, this one of 225 onpapier vergé. Illustrated with a woodcut portrait of the author on the title-page as well as numerous woodcut headlines, tail pieces, and initial letters all by Louis Jou. Specially bound in full vellum over boards, most likely by Jou (he at least provided the design), although the binding may have been a collaboration with Georges Cretté. The title is calligraphed on the upper cover, surrounded by a swirling, floral gilt pattern. A simple, elegant floral border on the lower cover surrounds a central roundel with a double gilt border, the author's name and the initials "LJ" calligraphed within. A fine copy in an unusual binding. Housed in a matching slipcase.
