Description

Les tableaux vivants ou Mes confessions aux pieds de la duchesse. Anecdotes véridiques tirées de nos amours avec nos libertines illustres et nos fouteuses de qualité, par un rédacteur de la R.D.D.M. 2 tomes en 1 vol. pet. in-8° (qqs. pet. rouss.). - Edition (orig.: Brux., [Poulet-Malassis ?, c. 1870]) beautifully typographed and adorned with printed headbands, lettrines, and endpapers, as well as the titles, in red and black. This voluptuous suite of scenes composed very freely in a flowery language, has been attributed without certainty sometimes to G. Droz or P. Perret. The initials "R.D.D.M." probably refer to the "Revue des Deux Mondes" but the link with the author is not proven. - Ref. Dutel 833. - Pia 1395. - Perceau 41-5. - Nordmann I:400. - Prov. Gerrit Komrij (ex-libris). - Joint, same format: [Momas, Alphonse de. Pseud.] C***, baron de - Les folies amoureuses d'une impératrice. Paris-Bruxelles, [Duringe (impr. Renaudie)], 1900 (Slight discharge from front endpaper on title). Br. with almond green cloth paper covers (small stains). Virulent libertarian satire on the sex life of Napoleon III and Eugénie. Enriched with an unsigned watercolour frontispiece, apparently depicting the Empress kissing the naked body of a young woman (her chambermaid?). Ref. Dutel 318. - Cp. Pia 517, Perceau 33-1 to 8 (2 vols.)
