Aphrodite. LOUYS (Pierre).
BOUND BY MAROT-RODDE
Illustrations de André Marty.

Small 4to. [253 x 166 x 37 mm]. [7]ff, 239, [4] pp. Contemporary binding by Marot-Rodde (signed with a gilt pallet on front turn-in) in brown goatskin over bevelled boards, the covers tooled with a gilt fillet towards the head and two gilt fillets towards the foot, with black fillets stepped and squared in between, extending across the smooth spine, with author and title lettered in gilt above the gilt fillets, gilt flecked endleaves, top edge gilt, the others uncut.

Paris: Creuzevault, 159 Faubourg St-Honoré, [1936]
No.96 of 330 copies. The work was printed by the brothers Vaucher and the illustrations were coloured by Edmond Vairel. They are charming, with just a hint of eroticism.
Mme Marot-Rodde established her bindery in the early 1920s at 86 boulevard Suchet. Advised by Petrus Ruban, she soon made a name for herself, was patronised by Louis Barthou and was awarded a silver medal at the 1925 Exposition. By 1932 she was assisted by her daughter and employed several binders, including two gilders. She died prematurely in 1935, and the bindery must have continued for a while longer.
