Les Extases de l’amour. Oeuvre philosophique dédié à l’Univers fouteur. ‘Philadelphy: Upon the place peler’, n.d. [c.1828.]
Small octavo (135 x 86 mm). 20 engraved plates including the engraved title, each with verse captions, all on strong wove paper. (Text of one leaf just shaved by the binder, occasional minor spotting in some margins.) Early 19th-century pink boards, possibly original, edges yellow (front joint starting); later pink cardboard chemise and slipcase. Provenance: Georges Hugnet (1906-1974, artist and author; bookplate).
THE GEORGES HUGNET COPY OF THIS VERY RARE WORK: WorldCat locates no copy in any institution; and AE and ABPC record none at auction. These humorous engravings in a Romantic style were very popular in this period, and inspired or were reproduced in several collections of prints with different titles or without the verse captions. Dutel A-383.
