A. Eleuthéropolis [but Paris?], 1914. One of 250 copies, this being no. 155. Original erotic watercolor drawing (folding) at p. 81. 134, [4] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Printed paper wrappers, untrimmed. Tail of spine panel chipped, covers dusty, internally near fine. One of 250 copies, this being no. 155. Original erotic watercolor drawing (folding) at p. 81. 134, [4] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Containing the famous “Sonnet du Trou du Cul” (Verlaine and Rimbaud). Although this edition does not appear in Pia's “Les Livres de l‘Enfer du XVIeme siecle a nos jours” it is related to Pia 967, and the first section bears the following false imprint: “Les Amies : sonnets / par le licencié Pablo de Herlagnez. Ségovie, 1868.” The limitation statement notes that "cette édition a été tirée à deux cent cinquante exemplaires pour les souscripteurs et non mise dans le commerce." A contemporary originial drawing of a couple at the moment of embrace unfolds in the oversize margin at page 81 (7 x 6-1/2 inches). An uncommon edition, provocatively extra-illustrated. Not in Pia or Private Case
