Lyon: Imprimerie Typographique des Deux-Collines, 1919. First Edition (we find no earlier edition) of this erotic, but relatively tastefully illustrated piece. Bound with both the front and back wrappers in an unusual binding, stamped on the verso of an endpaper, “Vtesse G. De Mentque.” Bound in white polished calf with a woman in a long dress and bonnet outlined on the front cover in metal wire; titled on the spine; all edges gilt; deluxe endpapers; and most modern, with a stiff clear plastic jacket and slipcase. Bookplate; the binding is a bit soiled and rubbed, but very good. The plastic jacket and slipcase are somewhat darkened and scratched, and the slipcase is cracked and lacks one end. Although this binding is undated, it appears to be an example of a twenties artist striving to be on the leading edge of modern.
