Original printed wrappers. A fine bright and near new copy with the photographs showing full and rich tonal quality measuring approximately 3 1/8 x 4 5/8 inches or the reverse. This copy is number 44 of 80 copies with the text printed on rose paper from a total edition of 105 copies. One of the landmark Surrealist books and one of the very few to be illustrated with original gelatin silver photographs. This is considered Bellmer's most important and influential work. Therese Lichtenstein guest curator for the International Center for Photography 2001 exhibition "Behind Closed Doors: The Art of Hans Bellmer" writes: "Although Bellmer is generally classified as a Surrealist he actually initiated his doll project with a specific political purpose: to oppose the fascism of the National Socialist Nazi Party in Germany in the 1930s. After the rise to power of the Nazi Party in 1933 Bellmer an established painter and graphic designer declared that he would make no work that would support the German state. The unconventional or "degenerate" poses of his dolls were directed specifically at the cult of the perfect body then prominent in Germany. The dolls are represented in a constant state of mutation multiplication and recombination often appearing contorted or bound and occasionally lacking body parts or sprouting extra sets of limbs. These permutations echo autoerotic sensations rooted in the body. Bellmer's work was also an attempt to destabilize representations of gender being widely circulated in contemporary mass culture."

La Poupée evolved out of a series of events in Hans Bellmer's personal life: his cousin Ursula Naguschewski moving from Kassel to Berlin in 1932; an encounter with renowned dollmaker Lotte Pritzel and his attendance of a performance of Jacques Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann in which the protagonist falls in love with an automaton; and his mother shipping him his old toys. Bellmer constructed several dolls the first dating from 1933 which he assembled and photographed in strange and disquieting configurations. Ten of these photographs were published in Germany as Die Puppe 1934. It was Bellmer's cousin Ursula who while studying at the Sorbonne in 1934 apparently first brought Bellmer's photographs to the attention of André Breton in Paris. In 1934 the Surrealist journal Minotaure published a portfolio of these images and in 1936 one was published in an issue of Cahiers d'art devoted to the Surrealist object. Guy Levis Manos published this expanded French Edition with an introduction by Bellmer translated by Robert Valencay. In February 1938 Bellmer left Berlin for Paris.
