Description from the seller
"Love, Forty Drawings" by Michael von Zichy, the famous erotic cycle of the court painter to Tsar Alexander II.
The first edition of this book dates from 1911.
This is the deluxe edition from Gala Verlag from 1966, limited to 600 copies; this copy is no. 445/600.
It is in good to very good condition, especially considering the book is already 60 years old.
The cover shows a number of normal signs of wear, especially on the corners. The inside of the book is very good, with a sturdy binding and nice pages (see the attached photos for a clearer picture).
Mihály Zichy (Zala, Somogy, 15 October 1827 – Saint Petersburg, 28 February 1906) was a Hungarian painter and illustrator. He spent a large part of his life as a painter at the court of successive Russian emperors. He was a prominent representative of Hungarian Romanticism. He is best known for his vivid allegorical and symbolic depictions and for his intimate portrayals of physical love. He also worked as a book illustrator.
The book will be securely packaged and shipped with Track & Trace.
Seller's Story
Almost thirty years ago I started collecting comics and "Para BD" (silkscreens, postcards, original drawings, etc.), initially somewhat more general, later especially focused on Jean-Pierre Gibrat and François Bourgeon (of whom I own a large collection).
Lately my attention is turning more and more toward art and photography books.
In 2024 I decided to sell part of this collection, and these are the items you can find here on Catawiki.
I have always taken great care of all the items in my collection, and I continue to do so when shipping my sold items, so that you as a buyer can be satisfied with your purchase.
Don't hesitate if you have questions for me; I always try to respond quickly.
Good auction!
