The work of Lucien Boucher, 37 of whose marvellous lithographs of Parisian shop fronts are reproduced here, along with an extended, illustrated essay by James Russell and Shaun Whiteside’s translations of Pierre Mac Orlon’s accompanying poems. The original was first published in 1925 by Marcel Seheur, a leading light of the French avant-garde. Boucher’s work is a delightful mix of art deco and whimsy – and indubitably, unashamedly French. This was included in our catalogue for Christmas 2021 but the publisher suffered a series of disasters with the book, now happily resolved. A limited edition of 500.
