Dealer Notes
Note: The delicate drawings for this book were prepared during Jessie M. King’s time in Paris. They are reproduced using the stencilling technique known as pochoir, which gives the colours a great clarity. The illustrations for this book are considered to be some of King’s finest. - Taylor, Art Nouveau Book in Britain, p. 136. L’habitation Forcee was printed by Rene Kieffer who was well known in Paris in the early 20th century for his innovative book designs and techniques and as one of the most important book binders in the Art Deco style.
