VERTES, Marcel (1895-1961) – Entrée interdite au public. [Paris: Paul Cotinaud, c.1926.]
Folio (320 x 230 mm). 20 photogravures in various tints after Vertès, tipped into paper window mounts as issued; extra-illustrated with 2 original pencil drawings (130-160 x 90-130 mm), and two lithographs (160-180 x 130-150 mm), all window-mounted in paper mats, and two gelatin silver prints of Vertès (240 x 175 mm), copyright stamp of Georges Lorant on the verso (some wear), and a 3 page carbon typescript with manuscript corrections titled ‘Je suis modèle’ also with Lorant’s copyright stamp. Original pink card chemise and slipcase, title label printed in green on the front of the chemise (light wear to spine and joints of the chemise, slipcase lightly faded and lightly soiled).
A UNIQUE COPY EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH TWO PHOTOGRAPHS OF VERTES AT WORK, AND TWO ORIGINAL DRAWINGS AND TWO LITHOGRAPHS BY VERTES. Photographs of Vertès, one of the masters of erotic art, are distinctly uncommon. One shows him instructing a model, and the other shows Vertès drawing her; together with a typescript corrected in manuscript titled ‘Je suis modèle...’ perhaps an account by the model in the photographs. The plates in this work are drawn primarily from L’Heure Exquise and from Le Pays à mon Goût; the introductory text is by Pierre Mac Orlan. One of 250 copies, this one number 15. Dutel 1487.
