About this Item
Large hardcover. Text in French. 4to (7.75 x 10 in.). Half bound with spine and corners in deep red pebbled cloth. Boards are covered with red-tinted marbled paper. Cloth shows wear but nothing shaky. Use-wear on the spine but the gilt titles still show some life. 3 of 4 corners are good, not perfect. Upper right one a bit frayed, showing some underneath paper. Pages are remarkably free of any significant foxing. They are also free of markings or soiling. The artistic/biographical text is liberally illustrated with Rops' print work. Most significantlly are the individual prints bound in with the text. A complete list of 23 is provided in the rear of the book. Consulting it reveals that one of the prints, "Dame au carcel", is not present in this copy. Two other prints have lost attachment but are present, in place. Throughout, there are many examples of the artist's "notorious" erotic images. While skilled in drawing and painting, Rops was widely lauded for his artistry and technique as a print maker. This early 20th century edition is a feast for the eyes and the mind. Seller Inventory # 001574
