Subject intended to illustrate a collection of poems by Bounoure: ‘ Furthermore, for reasons that are likely to be the same, the ‘Women-Flowers’ illustration—which was not included in this layout, is indeed absent from standard copies but appears opposite ‘Unicorn’ in the T1 copy of the Bounoure edition—appears to have been reserved for deluxe and non-commercial copies. ” (Andrea D’Urso, A. “Towards the Shadow, or the Iconotext of Vincent Bounoure and Jean Benoît”. Dalhousie French Studies, no. 125, p. 110).
