This rare book, "La Création," exceptionally explores the confluence of biblical traditions and Art Deco art. This first French edition of the first three books of Genesis, followed by the Genealogy of Adam, is magnificently illustrated by the renowned Swiss-French artist François-Louis Schmied. Schmied's career is marked by his exceptional talent for wood engraving and his innovative approach to the illustrated book. In this edition, he collaborates with Gustave Miklos, a major figure in the French Art Deco movement. Their collaboration results in 42 color wood engravings, including twelve full-page ones, lending the work an unprecedented visual richness. This edition stands out not only for its artistic illustrations but also for the Art Deco style of its binding. The custom binding, designed and executed by the famous binder Darcy, is a work of art in itself, with a complex geometric decoration that reflects the radiant energy of creation. This copy is further enriched with an original watercolor study by Schmied for the figure of Eve, which significantly increases the unique value and collectible status of this work. It represents a highlight in the applied arts of the 1920s and is a must-have for collectors of illustrated books and Art Deco. The combination of the rich, religious theme with the avant-garde aesthetic of the binding and illustrations makes this book a unique and iconic object.
