Art market trends? From the
incunabula of the Middle Ages to the first editions of the great writers of the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, from the fine bindings of the Maison Hetzel for the novels of Jules Verne to the creations of Art Deco, not forgetting artists' books, France is a leader in the field of bibliophily.
Bibliophiles all have their own
favourite field: literature, history, politics, travel, science, the arts, etc. They are usually interested in a particular period or writer. Some seek out first editions.
Editions illustrated by famous artists, from Gustave Doré to Picasso, are very popular. Finally, many bibliophiles are seduced by the quality of the bindings, such as the marvellous Art Deco bindings by François-Louis Schmied.
