    Les Fleurs du Mal[Flowers of Evil]

    Michel Lévy frères|Paris 1868|12.50 x 18.80 cm|broché

    Third edition, expanded with 25 new poems. One of the very few deluxe copies on hollande paper, only deluxe issue. In its original wrappers, as issued, skilfull restorations to spine and first cover, some letters of the spine title restored. Some foxing to the first few leaves. 
    With a steel-engraved frontispiece portrait of the author by Nargeot and a lengthy introduction by the poet Théophile Gautier along with an addenda selected by Baudelaire containing articles and letters from 1857 by Barbey d'Aurevilly, Dulamon, Sainte-Beuve, Charles Asselineau, Custine, Edouard Thierry and Émile Deschamps.


    Like all first issue copies, the cover is dated 1869.
    Exceedingly scarce copy on hollande, the only deluxe issue: less than ten copies are said to have been printed.

  63. “Who among us has not dreamed the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm or rhyme, supple and agile enough to adapt to the lyrical movements of the soul, to the undulations of daydreams, to the leaps of consciousness?”
    Petits poëmes en prose - Les Paradis artificiels
    Charles BAUDELAIRE

    Petits poëmes en prose - Les Paradis artificiels [Little poems in prose - Artificial Paradises] [Paris Spleen]

    Michel Lévy frères|Paris 1869|12.50 x 18.80 cm|broché

    First edition of Baudelaire's Petits poëmes en prose later published by the better-known title Le Spleen de Paris - Petits poëmes en prose. One of the very rare copies printed on hollande, only deluxe issue (‘grands papiers').
    With a preface to the collection by the author, derived from a letter to Arsène Houssaye, in which he articulates his ambitions for the prose poems. The poems are followed in this volume by the second edition of Paradis Artificiels.
    This edition was used as the fourth volume of Baudelaire's complete works, as stated “œuvres complètes” on the cover. It was also sold separately, given the several years it took to publish all seven volumes of the complete works.
    Exceedingly rare first edition copy printed on hollande, the only deluxe issue: less than ten copies are said to have been printed. A rare survival in the original wrappers that has escaped rebinding. It is the only such example we can trace in trade records.

    Matthew Gregory LEWIS

    Le moine

    Chez Maradan|à Paris 1819|10.20 x 17.50 cm|3 volumes reliés
    Third edition of the French translation.
    Small paper lacks to the second cover of the first volume, pen annotations in margins of some leaves, one annotation has been neatly cut from a leaf margin, some light foxing, manuscript gift inscription and printed stamp on the title pages of the volumes.
    Full red paper board bindings, smooth spines slightly faded decorated with triple gilt fillets, black calf title and volume labels, all edges yellow, contemporary bindings.
    Much has been written about this Gothic, dark, and oh so scandalous novel, but the sum of adjectives attributed to it cannot explain the lasting legacy of such a work; it is moreover the only one of its category to have achieved such renown, and for good reason: drawing from the mysteries of the Gothic novel (castles, cellars, incest, diabolical acts) Lewis created the novel of a man possessed by immense pride, whose perpetual demonstration of purity is a temptation for the Devil himself. It is therefore a battle of man, aspiring to virtue and purity, against the evil within him (sin, lust, murder, domination...); it is indeed the battle of every man, that of good and evil, for the Devil is merely a tempter, not the one responsible for evil. The monk is as much an allegory as a superb parable of the human condition. The radical modernity of this novel lies in the reader's position, as voyeuristic witness to a vertiginous and inexorable fall into evil by a fanatic of purity and sanctity.
    Handsome copy in contemporary binding.

    Un autre monde - Transformations, visions, incarnations, ascensions, locomotions, explorations, pérégrinations, excursions, stations, cosmogonies, fantasmagories, rêveries, folatreries, facéties, lubies, métamorphoses, zoomorphoses, lithomorphoses, métempsychoses, apothéoses et autres choses

    Henri Fournier|Paris 1844|19 x 27 cm|relié
    First edition of this work considered to be Grandville's masterpiece, with illustrations in first print. Illustrated frontispiece, 36 colored illustrations and 146 in-text woodcuts in black.
    Contemporary binding in half black shagreen, spine with raised bands ruled in gilt, black paper boards framed in gilt, a scratch with loss of paper to the upper right corner of the upper board, small scuffs on the covers, yellow endpapers, all edges gilt.
    Handsome copy of this beautiful book, a precursor to Surrealism.
    This exuberant and prodigious production of Grandville and Delord (whose name is printed at the bottom of page 292), judged by its contemporaries as already being mad, was rediscovered by the Surrealists.
    “Published in 1844 by éditions Fournier, Un autre monde is Grandville's masterpiece. The book is subtitled Transformations, visions, incarnations, ascensions, locomotions, explorations, travels, excursions, stations, cosmogonies, phantasmagorias, dreams, frolics, facetiae, whims, metamorphosis, zoomorphs, lithomorphosis, metempsychosis, apotheosis and other things. With its transformations, its inventions and its phantasmagoria, the work claims to reflect a changing era. Un autre monde recounts and illustrates the extraordinary travels of three neo-gods, Puff, Krackq and Hahblle. [...] It is indeed a philosophical journey that Grandville takes us on [...] The reader, led to a strange planet imagined by the artist, is invited, like Gulliver in the Country of Laputa, on a parodic journey of his philosophical, scientific, economic and religious ideas, of his passions, inventions and worries: romanticism, mechanisation, socialism, money, serial, publicity, anglomania, philanthropy, phrenology, etc.” (Annie Renonciat, La Vie et l'œuvre de Grandville, Paris, ACR-Vilo, 1985).
    Grandville's most sought-after work.

  85. La descendance de l'homme et la sélection sexuelle
    Charles DARWIN

    La descendance de l'homme et la sélection sexuelle

    C. Reinwald et Cie|Paris 1872|14.50 x 23.50 cm|2 volumes reliés
    First French edition, translated from English by Moulinié. Preface by Carl Vogt. 76 wood-engraved figures in text. At the end of volume I, 24 pages of catalogue from the Reinwald bookshop.
    Publisher's green cloth binding signed Lenègre at foot. Smooth spine with ornament at foot and head. Rubbing. Headcap of volume I sunken with micro-tear of a few millimeters at upper joint. 2 upper corners folded in volume I. Some pale foxing in margins. Handsome copy.
    If The Origin of Species made the author a pivot in the evolution of biology, "The Descent of Man" takes an additional step in what would be called Darwinism by building a bridge between biology and the human sciences and philosophy. It is moreover the first time that we find in a book by the author the term Evolution to conceptualize Darwin's thought (p2. at the end of the first paragraph). The term would be added to the sixth edition of The Origin of Species. Darwin published in 1859 "On the Origin of Species", and it is only 13 years later, in The Descent of Man that he demonstrates that man is the descendant of pre-existing species, developing the theory of sexual selection, a factor in the evolution of species and their differentiations.
    Darwin was very attentive to the translation of his work and collaborated closely with Reinwald.
