First edition of each of the four volumes, one of 50 copies (for the first and third works) or one of 150 copies (for the second and fourth) printed on Japan paper, the only deluxe issue. Bradel bindings in citron half morocco with corners, smooth spines slightly darkened, marbled paper boards, pebble-grained endpapers and pastedowns, covers and backstrips preserved in one piece, contemporary bindings signed Champs. Covers and in-text or full-page drawings by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen for the first and second volumes, by Francisque Poulbot for the third, and by Louis Borgex for the fourth and final volume. Each volume bears Aristide Bruant’s autograph signature beneath the colophon; the last volume also includes Louis Borgex’s handwritten signature. A handsome complete set of four volumes, uniformly bound at the time by Champs.
