The publisher on this edition

« A chanson de gestes »: such was the definition of Hermès proffered by a visitor being taken around the workshops one day. It is certainly a good description, for those who see the house “from within”, of the humming, mysteriously busy hive that is the reality behind the famous signature. It is a “land of the hand”, a country whose extent and variety of activity few could imagine. An incessant ballet of nimble fingers deftly working materials they master from start to finish.
