A crisp clean copy. Rare, one copy only at auction (this one) for about four decades (searched with ABPC) although there may be others in the rather more opaque French trade (although this edition was not present in Deburaux's Perceau sale of 2007). Dutel 2545, Pauvert I, 474, Perceau 35-17 (this copy), Pia 1465. Provenance: Louis Perceau's copy, a founding father of modern erotic bibliography, identifiable with his characteristic holograph additions to the spine and a note on the front endpaper identifying the artist, from his own Bibliothe?que and therefore the one used for his great bibliography. Pia notes that the erroneous publication date of 1918 was down to a typographer's error that is unlike most erotic books printed as the French say ?sous le manteau' (under the cloak) and sold as the English would say ?under the counter' where the year is often camouflaged along with everything else. The bibliographer considered it to be 'Un des grands classiques de la librairie sous le manteau' , the ?aquarelle' seems to be a proof of the frontispiece heightened with watercolour. 219013.
