A propos de cet article

5th edition with a preface by Theophile Gautier, portrait frontispiece of Baudelaire, 441 pp, rebound with marbled eps in red morocco leather, painted on the front, spine and back cover by bookbinder and artist Louis Dézé (1857-1930), with his painted signature. The subject matter of the paintings reflects the contents of Baudelaire's poems, a crucified man taunted by naked women (back) and a steatopygous female with a skull for a head, from whose arms and legs plants and human headed flowers grow. The leather is worn through at the edges and the spine is rubbed partially obliterating the title. Overall poor condition but retaining most of the painted detail.
