''Le Livre des Rois'' (The Book of Kings) is an illustrious example of fine bookmaking and a masterpiece of Art Deco illustration, created by the renowned French artist and craftsman François-Louis Schmied (1873–1941). This opulent work, published in 1918, is a visual interpretation of the ancient Persian epic poem "Shahnameh" (The Book of Kings), written by the Persian poet Ferdowsi around the year 1000.

François-Louis Schmied, celebrated for his exquisite woodcuts and innovative graphic designs, painstakingly produced ''Le Livre des Rois'' with a dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of his oeuvre. The book is notable for its sumptuous illustrations, which reflect Schmied's Art Deco style, characterized by rich colors, geometric shapes, and a clear influence from Near Eastern art, in keeping with the book's Persian subject matter.

The production of ''Le Livre des Rois'' was a laborious process, involving hand-crafted woodcuts and typesetting, as well as hand-printing. Schmied's meticulous approach to book design and his commitment to the highest standards of artistry are evident in every page of this work. The book was printed in a limited edition, making it a highly sought-after collector's item for bibliophiles and aficionados of fine printing and illustration.

''Le Livre des Rois'' not only showcases Schmied's technical prowess but also serves as a cultural bridge, bringing the legendary tales of Persian heroes and kings to a Western audience through the universal language of art. The book stands as a testament to the early 20th-century renaissance in fine bookmaking and remains an enduring legacy of François-Louis Schmied's contribution to the art of the illustrated book.
