The first English and first UK edition in slipcase of this important work and substantially scarcer than the US edition which was published simultaneously and was identical apart from having a dustwrapper rather than the slipcase. Not to be confused with the similar title 'Toros Y Toreros' by Picasso first published the same year but a completely different book without original graphics.
Contains 4 original lithographs specially executed for this book (and frequently removed for framing), one of which is in full colour (all illustrated here), printed by Mourlot in France. 154 pages including 103 full page reproductions in black and white and colour of bullfighting scenes.
Apart from some sunning of the cloth spine, some offsetting on the front free endpaper and a small bookseller's label on its verso, this is a fine bright unmarked copy. Enclosed in the original custom slipcase which is a little worn and faded and has a 5cm. piece missing from the one edge (see image). A heavy book so please take international postage rates into account.
Offered with an attractive reserve price.
