(PICASSO, PABLO). Ramie, Suzanne & Georges. Geneve, SWITZERLAND: Editions d'Art Albert Skira, 1948. First Edition. Folio. Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Very Good - .. np (20pp) + 18 loose 15 x 11" cardstock sheets, 1 b&w and 18 color illustrations. Text in French. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. Published in 1948 by Editions d'Art Albert Skira, this elegant portfolio was the first significant survey of Pablo Picasso's ceramics. Featuring a cover drawn by Picasso specifically for this publication, text by Suzanne and Georges Ramie, and a photographic portrait of the artist at Vallauris by Edward Quinn, it contains eighteen loose sheets - each with a tipped color reproduction of a ceramic work. An otherwise most handsome, complete example of the first French language edition of this lovely item showing some intermittant age-toning, soiling, staining, and short closed tears to the extremities of the portfolio and some of the individual plates.
