"L'Iliade et l'Odyssee" is a French illustrated edition of the ancient Greek epics "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," attributed to the poet Homer. This particular edition was crafted by the renowned French artist and bookmaker François-Louis Schmied (1873–1941), who was celebrated for his work in Art Deco book design and illustration. Published in the early 20th century, Schmied's "L'Iliade et l'Odyssee" is notable for its exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the integration of typography and illustration.

Schmied's interpretation of these classic texts is distinguished by its luxurious production values. The books were often printed on high-quality paper and featured hand-applied gold leaf, intricate engravings, and vivid, hand-colored illustrations. Schmied's artistic vision for these works was to create a harmonious blend of text and image, resulting in a reading experience that was both visually and intellectually stimulating.

The production of "L'Iliade et l'Odyssee" was a labor-intensive process, reflecting Schmied's dedication to the art of bookmaking. Each copy was a testament to the skill and artistry involved in traditional book arts, a field in which Schmied was a leading figure during his lifetime. His work on these epics is often considered a pinnacle of Art Deco book design and has been highly sought after by collectors and bibliophiles.

François-Louis Schmied's "L'Iliade et l'Odyssee" remains an important artifact in the history of book design and illustration, representing a fusion of classical literature and modern artistic expression.
