Louis de Broglie - What We Are - Unpublished Estienne School 1956 Superb binding

• A rare edition in the "Les inédits D'Estienne" collection by the prestigious graphic arts school (which held an exhibition in October 2010)

• Booklet by the famous Academician and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Louis de Broglie, illustrated by the engraver and former resistance fighter Albert Flocon.
• The Inédits d’Estienne collection was created on June 14, 1951, at the initiative of an inspector general, Mr. Saurin. The collection ended on December 15, 1969.

"Each year, the Lycée Technique Estienne would publish a work of exceptional quality, which is in some way a symbol of the permanence of the Graphic Arts. These works are characterized by both the originality of the piece and the uniqueness of the edition. This explains why they were so prized by bibliophiles and literary scholars. However, the technical quality would have been in vain had the greatest writers not participated in the work, and its renown owed much to the great authors of that time."
