BELLMER -- [BATAILLE, Georges (1897-1962), writing as:] LORD AUCH. Histoire de l'oeil. Seville: 1940 [but Paris: K, 1947].
Octavo (255 x 160 mm). 12 engraved plates, including a duplicate set laid-in. (Some spotting to the bound plates, occasional spots in some blank margins.) Original wrappers printed in red, original plain paper-covered slipcase, the spine titled in manuscript (light spotting and light wear to the wrappers, the slipcase and chemise with more pronounced spotting and some rubbing at the extremities).
FIRST BELLMER EDITION, A RARE PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY BATAILLE: 'à Gilles de Rais, que je m'excuse d'avoir bleui'. Bataille inscribed his book, facetiously, to Gilles de Rais (1405-1440), companion-in-arms of Joan of Arc, and later executed as a serial killer. In later life Bataille wrote about Rais's trial, and his inscription ['bleui'] may refer to the belief that Charles Perrault based his Barbebleu on Gilles de Rais. AE and ABPC record no other copy inscribed by Bataille at auction. Number 28 of 50 copies issued with a duplicate suite of print, from an edition of 199 copies only. Histoire de l'oeil is the first work illustrated with Bellmer prints. His remarkable, psychologically charged illustrations are wholly different and more closely aligned with Bataille's singular text than those produced by Mason for the first edition. Dutel 1699; Pia Enfer 630.
