A facsimile of one of the earliest surviving Gauguin sketchbooks (1884), with detailed commentary by Raymond Cogniat and foreword by John Rewald. The facsimile volume reproduces the contents (in color) and the format, and even the exterior (the cloth printed with all the stains and notations of the original cover). The commentary is bilingual, with separate English and French volumes (complete with errata slips in each).
