Limited and numbered edition (no. 537 out of 800 copies); the copy is put into an original cardboard clamshell box and original violet folder with gilt title. The hand-written number 537 is written on both clamshell box and frontispiece. The book was completely designed by Alfons Mucha, including cover art. Almost all pages are Mucha's coloured lithographs with figures and/or edgings. Printed on wove paper. The book contains a plate with blind embossing between the front free endpaper and the half-title. A history of the French 1897 edition (from the Mucha Foundation website): "Based on Edmond Rostand's La Princesse Lointaine, written for Sarah Bernhardt in 1895, L'Ilsée, Princesse de Tripoli was commissioned from the author Robert de Flers by the Parisian publisher Henri Piazza. By the time De Flers had completed his manuscript, Mucha had only three months to prepare 134 coloured lithographs before the edition was due to go to print. Mucha later wrote of the experience: 'We worked on four stones simultaneously. I did some of the drawings straight onto the stone. Other things, particularly the decorative edgings, I drew on tracing paper which was then passed on to the draughtsmen who continued the work with the colours I specified. I hardly had time to sketch out the motif for an ornament when they came and took it from my hands and got down to work on it.' Ilsée was given an enthusiastic reception by the critics. Czech and German editions were later published in 1901 in Prague by B. Koci."
