LOUYS, Pierre
Trois filles de leur mère. Illustrations de Vertés ou Berommë Saint- André. Aux dépens d'un amateur et pour ses amis.
Paris privately printed by Rene Bonel 1926. . First edition; 4to 29 x 20 cm 361pp. text printed in purple reproducing the author's manuscript 20 full page engraved illustrations including frontispiece with slight spotting on two plates original paper spine bound in at rear bound by 'G.Mativet' binder's name stamped on front free endpaper marbled endpapers half brown morocco gilt marbled boards brown calf label gilt lettered; a very good copy.<br /> This edition was printed in small numbers and not for sale: 'tirée à petit nombre et non mise dans le commerce.'<br /><br />Pierre Louÿs was born in Ghent in 1870 to a Champagne family who had taken refuge in Belgium during the Franco-Prussian War. A classmate of André Gide Louÿs studied at the École Alsacienne and went on to become a very well known French poet and writer a close friend of Debussy and Oscar Wilde. He was made first a Chevalier and then an Officer of the Légion d'Honneur for his contributions to French literature. <br /><br />This erotic work originally written in about 1910 was inspired by the free relationship between the author and the wife of José Maria de Heredia and his three daughters. It is considered to be Louÿs' masterpiece: 'a true story down to the smallest detail' according to the author himself. He wrote inside the book: 'Ce petit livre n'est pas un roman. C'est une histoire vraie jusqu'aux moindres détails. Je n'ai rien changé ni le portrait de la mère et des trois jeunes filles ni leurs âges ni les circonstances' This books is not a novel. It is a true story down to the smallest detail. I have changed nothing neither the portrait of the mother and the three young girls nor their ages nor their circumstances.<br /> Bibliography of Erotic Works by Pierre Louys - online. 28a for the later issue Paris, [privately printed by Rene Bonel], [1926]. hardcover

Woman and Puppet: A Spanish Romance "presentation" copy with original drawing
n.p.: "Privately Printed for The Pierre Louÿs Society". Very Good. c.1927. Limited Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket shelfwear to bottom edges with some exposure of boards spine lettering and illustration heavily rubbed otherwise a good sound copy. color plates chapter-head drawings Mild erotica originally published in 1898 and best remembered today if at all because of its delirious 1935 film adaptation THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Marlene Dietrich and Lionel Atwill. The illustrations color frontispiece 9 color plates with tissue-guards intact a title-page drawing and chapter-head line drawings feature lots of nekkid ladies Ms. Tice's specialty and bear captions along the lines of "She smiled with her legs as she spoke with her torso." This is stated on the limitation page to be one of "1250 copies of which 990 are for America." Although one is usually well-advised to take the professed numbers on these vintage-erotica items with a grain of salt what makes this one especially interesting though is that instead of a number written into the blank space below the statement the single word "presentation" is inked; in addition on the half-title page is a 3-inch-tall original drawing of yet another nudie that is SIGNED by Clara Tice.

LOÜYS, Pierre - BARBIER, George.
LES CHANSONS DE BILITIS. Seul texte véritable et complet. Imprimé à Mitylène pour les amis de Bilitis, 1929.
Imprimé à Mitylène pour les amis de Bilitis [Paris: P. Bouchet], 1929. Volume petit in-4 (24,5 x 19,5 mm) relié en plein maroquin mosaïqué, doublé et décoré, étui. - 62 COMPOSITIONS GRAVÉES SUR BOIS EN COULEURS DE GEORGE BARBIER dont un frontispice et 6 à pleine page, 24 sujets à mi-page et de nombreuses lettrines et culs-de-lampe. - PREMIÈRE ÉDITION INTÉGRALE de ces 22 chansons, publiée pour le compte de Louis Barthou, Jacques André et Georges Miguet. Réalisé en 1929, période où le talent de l'artiste était alors à son apogée, ce livre est l'une des productions les plus importantes des années trente. - LE LIVRE LE PLUS RARE DE GEORGE BARBIER TIRÉ SEULEMENT À 25 EXEMPLAIRES. Un des 20 sur papier vélin filigrané au titre de l'ouvrage, celui-ci, non numéroté mais d'une prestigieuse provenance, est augmenté d' UNE SUITE COMPLÈTE DU TRAIT EN BRUN/ROUGE SUR JAPON. La suite tirée à 5 ou 6 ex. comprend également l' illustration des couvertures et une planche inédite. La reliure à décor d'attributs érotiques a été commanditée à Charles Septier par le bibliophile Beauvillain. Avec son ex-libris gravé : "Et BEAUVILLAIN ? / toujours il vous aime". SUPERBE EXEMPLAIRE RELIÉ EN PLEIN MAROQUIN DOUBLÉ MOSAÏQUÉ DE L'ÉPOQUE. - Références : Carteret Illustrés IV, 251 ; Dutel II, 1183 ; Pia Enfer 201-203. - Notes : Les Chansons de Bilitis sont l’œuvre la plus célèbre de Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) qui s'est ici amusé à monter une petite mystification, faisant croire qu'il s'agissait d'un véritable document historique retrouvé, les œuvres d'une contemporaine de Sappho, dont il ne nous reste que quelques bribes de poèmes… Il n'a pas même négligé de citer de vrais ouvrages savants issus de l'industrieuse université allemande, d'inventer des découvertes archéologiques, et de multiplier les évidences pour donner du corps à son invention. Elle a eu le bonheur d'attraper quelques érudits enthousiastes, professeurs d'université offrant leurs services pour améliorer la traduction ! Bilitis est même devenu un nom commun, comme Sapho. "Je voulais entendre Le rire de Sappho Et la voix de Sa lyre Ce qui me parvint fut Le marmonnement moustachu Des grammairiens Des ptérodactyles grecs Et des dodos victoriens". Il s'agit en fait d'un pastiche, mélangeant bribes saphiques, épigrammes de l'Anthologie Grecque, et de tout ce que peuvent offrir Alciphron (Lettres de pêcheurs, de paysans, de parasites et d'hétaïres), La Pastorale de Daphnis et Chloé de Longus, Lucien et tous les romans grecs... Au final, on a plus d'une centaine de poèmes suggestifs et ingénieux, fruit de la malicieuse imagination et de l'art imitatif de l'auteur. Ce n'est pas mal du tout, mais quand même: c'était bien trop beau pour être vrai ! L'introduction : Vie de Bilitis, est excellente, et remplit parfaitement son office… "Bilitis naquit au commencement du sixième siècle avant notre ère, dans un village de montagnes situé sur les bords du Mélas, vers l’orient de la Pamphylie. Ce pays est grave et triste, assombri par des forêts profondes, dominé par la masse énorme du Taurus ; des sources pétrifiantes sortent de la roche ; de grands lacs salés séjournent sur les hauteurs, et les vallées sont pleines de silence. Elle était fille d’un Grec et d’une Phénicienne. Elle semble n’avoir pas connu son père, car il n’est mêlé nulle part aux souvenirs de son enfance. Peut-être même était-il mort avant qu’elle ne vînt au monde. Autrement on s’expliquerait mal comment elle porte un nom phénicien que sa mère seule lui put donner. Sur cette terre presque déserte, elle vivait d’une vie tranquille avec sa mère et ses sœurs. D’autres jeunes filles, qui furent ses amies, habitaient non loin de là. Sur les pentes boisées du Taurus, des bergers paissaient leurs troupeaux. Le matin, dès le chant du coq, elle se levait, allait à l’étable, menait boire les animaux et s’occupait de traire leur lait. Dans la journée, s’il pleuvait, elle restait au gynécée et filait sa quenouille de laine. Si le temps était beau, elle courait dans les champs et faisait avec ses compagnes mille jeux dont elle nous parle. Bilitis avait à l’égard des Nymphes une piété très ardente. Les sacrifices qu’elle offrait, presque toujours étaient pour leur fontaine. Souvent même elle leur parlait, mais il semble bien qu’elle ne les a jamais vues, tant elle rapporte avec vénération les souvenirs d’un vieillard qui autrefois les avait surprises. La fin de son existence pastorale fut attristée par un amour sur lequel nous savons peu de chose bien qu’elle en parle longuement. Elle cessa de le chanter dès qu’il devint malheureux. Devenue mère d’un enfant qu’elle abandonna, Bilitis quitta la Pamphylie, d’une façon assez mystérieuse, et ne revit jamais le lieu de sa naissance. Nous la retrouvons ensuite à Mytilène où elle était venue par la route de mer en longeant les belles côtes d’Asie. Elle avait à peine seize ans, selon les conjectures de M. Heim qui établit avec vraisemblance quelques dates dans la vie de Bilitis, d’après un vers qui fait allusion à la mort de Pittakos. Lesbos était alors le centre du monde…" - ENGLISH DESCRIPTION : Pierre Loüys- George Barbier : LES CHANSONS DE BILITIS. Seul texte véritable et complet. Imprimé à Mitylène pour les amis de Bilitis, 1929. Small 4to. (246 x 192 mm). pp. (iv), 56, (i), (i). Wood-engraved colour frontispiece, printed title in various colours with colour wood-engraved vignette and Louÿs test in three sections ('Bucoliques en Pamphylie', 'Elegies à Lesbos' and 'Epigrammes dans lIle de Chypre') illustrated with 60 wood-engraved illustrations by Pierre Bouchet after George Barbier, 54 in colour, seven full-page, 24 decorating the text, the remainder culs-de-lampes or vignettes, final leaf with justification and achevé d'imprimer; three-line initials in colour against gilt background throughout as well as numerous head- and tail-pieces and initial letters, verse numbering in gilt in Roman numerals, text in capitals ruled throughout and two additional wood-engravings for the wrappers; this copy with the additional suite printed in outline in bistre on Japon including the cover illustrations and a "planche refusée" in black. Our copy is not numbered but comes from a important collector and provenance with ex-libris. Full contemporary emerald crushed morocco by Charles Septier with his signature gilt, front and rear boards ruled in gilt to surround a decorative border of inlaid jade morocco with gilt Greek key pat-tern around curvilinear jade morocco surround with gilt roll tool for a central vignette with argent disc supported by lamp tools, banded spine in five compartments with gilt titles and elaborate decorative tooling, doublures of tan morocco with gilt surrounding an inner border of red and black inlaid morocco, central inlaid circular medallions illustrating vignettes from the book in colour morocco, gilt floral, foliate, phallic and vulvic tools at corners, patterned silk guards, marbled endpapers, board edges ruled in gilt, original wrappers with gilt illustration and backstrips preserved, a.e.g., matching morocco-edged wool-lined marbled board slipcase. The binding was commissioned by Beauvillain as he had commissioned other bindings from Septier and that his ex libris is bound in as a full sheet rather than pasted on one of the pages. Provenance: leaf with engraved ex-libris of Robert Beauvillain by Jouas bound in with the text: "Et BEAUVILLAIN ? / toujours il vous aime". - BARBIER'S RAREST BOOK, Les Chansons de Bilitis, bound by Septier and with the very rare additional suite. From the edition limited to 25 copies on vélin d'Arches only, this copy also with the very rare suite printed in outline in bistre on Japon of which very few copies were printed. Also with an extra unpublished full page print in bistre bound in the suite. The rarest and most recherché and erotic work by George Barbier. The magnificent binding by Septier features phallic and vulvic tools to the doublures and a central circular vignette to each: that for the front doublure is after the illustration for the second poem Je me suis dévêtue pour monter a un arbre ... ); that for the rear is after the twenty-third (D'abord je n'ai pas répon-du ... ). First published in Paris in 1894, this purports to be translations of poems by a woman named Bilitis, a contemporary and ac-quaintance of Sappho. This caused a sensation, not only because finding an intact cache of poems from a completely unknown Greek poet circa 600 B.C. would be a miracle, but because of its open and sensitive exploration of lesbian eroticism. Actually Bilitis never existed. The poems were a clever forgery by Pierre Louÿs -- the "translator"; to lend weight, he had even included a bibliogra-phy with bogus supporting works. Louÿs actually did have a good command of the classics, and he salted Bilitis with a number of quotations from real poets, including Sappho, to make it even more convincing. (J. B. Hare). They [Barbier's Les Chansons de Bilitis and Aphrodite] are celebrations of the ancient gods and their freedom from taboo. Bar-bier's illustrations reveal this world in full flower ... When reality and imagination fused, not only was it possible to travel freely wherever you liked, it was also possible to encounter ancient gods and fairies. Art Deco mixed old and new in previous unseen ways ... In his glass, Barbier mixed an uncanny cocktail of neoclassic and modern. (Hiroshi Unno) [Carteret Illustrés IV, 251; Dutel 1183; not in Unno].

MAUPASSANT, Guy de - Edgar DEGAS
LA MAISON TELLIER. Illustrations d'Edgar Degas gravées sur cuivre (1934).
Ambroise Vollard, Paris 1934. 1 volume in-4 (340 x 270 mm) en feuilles, couverture illustrée rempliée. table des illustrations in fine sous chemise. - Célèbre édition illustrée de 46 compositions dont 19 GRAVURES SUR CUIVRE EN HORS-TEXTE DONT 2 EN COULEURS SUR JAPON et 17 bois dont certains en hors-texte gravés par Aubert. Les gravures furent réalisées par Maurice Potin d'après les monotypes d' Edgar Degas (1834-1917) achetés par Ambroise Vollard à René Degas avant la vente de l'atelier du peintre. Vollard entreprit l'édition de deux ouvrages : La Maison Tellier de Guy de Maupassant et Mimes des Courtisanes de Pierre Louÿs. Il s'adressa au peintre-graveur Maurice Potin pour reproduire sur cuivre ces scènettes de maisons closes que Degas appelait lui-même ses "petits plats du jour". M. Potin réussit à merveille à pénètrer la sensibilité du dessin et la subtilité des tons de Degas. L'entreprise prit 6 ans aux deux hommes pour faire paraitre les deux ouvrages. Tirage unique à 350 exemplaires numérotés sur vélin de Rives. English: 1 book, 4to, in loose leaves under the original illustrated wrappers. 46 compositions after Degas (1834-1917) comprising 19 copper etchings (2 in color printed on japan paper) and 17 woodcuts by Aubert. 1 of the 325 numbered copies printed on vellum paper.
