Description
ROIG, LOUŸS (Pierre). *La femme et le pantin*. Illustrations by P. Roïg. Decorations by Riom. Paris: L'Edition d'Art H. Piazza, 1903. In-8, paperback, publisher’s slipcase (unbound, slipcase worn).
A work illustrated with 50 colour plates within the text, based on drawings by the Catalan painter Pau Roig Cisa (1879–1955).

Enriched with two signed autograph letters: one from the painter, written in Seville on 5 August 1903 (2½ pages, in-8°), the other by Pierre Louÿs (1½ pages, in-12), in which he is highly critical of the recipient, the publisher, for allegedly failing to consult him on the choice of illustrations.
A copy presented by the publisher Charles Masson to his mother, with a signed ex-dono date of July 1903.
