Cyrano
de Bergerac's
Based on the book Journeys to the Moon and
Sun
by Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655)
Cyrano was the true life inspiration
for the romantic figure of Edmond de Rostand's
nineteenth-century play.
He was a satirist, swordsmen, poet, and
philosopher who indeed had a prodigious appendage.
This translation from the French, based on the 1662 edition, was made by Timothy Hampton, Professor of French and Comparative Literature
at the University of California, Berkeley.
The prints are color etchings with a linocut border. The text was printed letterpress within a linocut
border. All the prints are on handmade paper made at Eastside
Editions. This series was printed in an edition
of twenty. Ten sets were bound as books, and ten were left loose
in portfolio boxes.
The price for the book or the portfolio
box is $5,500.
