Foreword: Pierre Mac Orlan
Publisher:
Éditions Marcel Seheur, Paris
Year: 1928
Format: Large size (25.5 x 20)

Beautiful and significant publication, dedicated to the life and work of the Belgian symbolist master Félicien Rops (1833-1898).
This book is an essential reference work from the interwar period, featuring a sharp essay by Jean Dubray that highlights the symbolic and moral depth of Rops' graphic work.
The author's foreword by Pierre Mac Orlan offers a fascinating insight into Rops' provocative modernity.
The copy is exceptionally complete with all five original color plates, which are often missing or damaged. The list of illustrations fully conforms to the table of contents.
1. The Woman with Mask – Loose heliogravure/chromolithograph on art paper. The famous engraving referred to in the title. Les Deux Amies, Le Sillon, L'Incantation, Petite Sorcière.
Furthermore, the book contains a wealth of black-and-white illustrations (full-page illustrations), including the well-known self-portrait in the frontispiece. A beautiful collector's book for enthusiasts of symbolism, graphic art, and bibliography.
