AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First edition printing of 20 drawings by the Belgian artist Marcel Stobbaerts for the edition dubbed "of Paris."
20 watercolors with stencil, very free, textless
“Pybrac was written after Pierre Louÿs’s entanglements with Senator Bérenger, president of the League against street licensing, who had a scene from La Femme et le Pantin (an adaptation of his novel) banned at the Théâtre Antoine in December 1910 because the dancer Régina Badet showed her bare breasts. Pierre Louÿs mocked Senator Bérenger in his Pybrac. Each quatrain of Louÿs begins with ‘I do not like to see’ and describes an atrocity, all forming a catalog of impurities.”
Without date [circa 1930].
Format 20 x 15.5 – 127 pages – original cover preserved - half-leather binding – smooth spine with gold title
Limited edition of 250 copies, this one numbered 57 on Pur Fil de Voiron (watermark LB / Poiron) and Arches (watermark Dragon).
Two other editions of this same text will appear with only 12 of these illustrations (reworked) and in a simplified and duller color scheme.
Ref. Dutel 2195.
This copy includes the ex-libris of the two previous collectors.
