1912 Charron Ltd.
A rare 10-year celebration, brochure, containing a brief outline of the company's history, the construction of their cars, and details of their coachbuilding department and specifications. It also includes a bizarre illustrated story, inspired by H. G. Wells' 1895 novel, 'The Time Machine', by a pseudonymous author named 'Carnovsky, in fact a nom de plume for M. E. Sailland (1872-1956), featuring a tale by 'Tom Charron' and his journey through the ages, and enhanced by five colour pictures depicting scenes from his fantasy tale by Gus Bofa (1883-1969). Square-backed with a faux-leather cover, cotton-tied (now a little frayed), the content in excellent order. French text.
