First edition of the French translation by Valéry Larbaud, of which no deluxe copies were printed. Bradel binding in full paper, smooth spine browned, brown shagreen title-label with traces of marginal rubbing, original wrappers preserved, contemporary binding. This is the second text by Valéry Larbaud that he had printed at his own expense, like his first, "Les portiques", published in 1896.
