First edition, first printing. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author at the head of the title page, "A Madame Eleanor Ewing. En souvenir de Vermala. Hommage respectueux de l'auteur Jean de Brunhoff". Le Voyage de Babar is second of three Babar books published in Jean de Brunhoff's lifetime. His son Laurent continued the series and one occasionally sees examples signed by the younger Brunhoff, but presentation copies inscribed by Jean are of considerable rarity.
