‎Chefs d’oeuvre de Pierre Louys: Aphrodite Aventures du Roi Pausole Chansons de Bilitis Psyche Poems Libres La Femme et Le Pantin.‎

‎Paris: Les Editions de l'Ibis 1972-73. Deluxe limited Ibis edition of the works of Pierre Louys. Quartos 6 volumes bound in full red pebbled morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised bands elaborate gilt ruling to the panels top edges gilt pictorial endpapers with 12 original colored lithographs per volume by Brenot and others. Limited edition one of 1572 sets produced. In near fine condition. Exquisitely illustrated. Through his writings Louys sought to "express pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection." Perhaps his best-known work Les Chansons de Bilitis is a collection of erotic essentially lesbian poetry first published in 1894. The work is considered a pseudotranslation as Louys claimed it to be his translation of the original poems of Bilitis a courtesan of Sappho in Ancient Greece. The work was eventually exposed as a literary fraud this did little however to taint its literary value as an open celebration of lesbian sexuality. Les Editions de l'Ibis hardcover books‎

‎Psyche‎

‎New York: Covici Friede. Very Good in Fair dj. 1931 c.1928. Later Printing. Hardcover. book lightly shelfworn miniscule bumping to top front corner; jacket is a bit of a mess with the striking front panel illustration intact but otherwise some wear and paper loss to the spine which has also been clumsily tape-repaired along the front hinge light soiling a bit of paper loss at corners of rear panel. Somewhat louche French novel translation uncredited "a poem in prose to the eternal beauty and ecstasy of the flesh a romantic celebration of that physical love which approaches and merges with the sublime." The book was left unfinished at the time of the author's death in 1925 but "his friend Claude Farrère working from his own intimate knowledge of the story gleaned from many conversations with Louÿs finally completed it and brought about its publication." It was initially published in the U.S. by Covici Friede in 1928 in a limited edition with illustrations by the somewhat enigmatic Mme. Majeska real name Henriette Stern a theatre and film costume designer who employed her best Aubrey Beardsley-esque style to illustrate a number of similarly exotic books in the 1920s and 1930s; despite the jacket-blurb claim that the book "is here presented in an attractive format and without deletion from the original edition" this particular 1931 printing did in fact eliminate the in-text illustrations perhaps they meant something else by "the original edition" although the publisher did retain one of her drawings uncredited to adorn the front jacket panel. Too bad about the clumsily-done tape repair to the front jacket hinge; not my doing! . Covici, Friede hardcover books‎
