Description:
Paris: Les Arts et le Livre, 1926. Limited Edition. Stiff Wraps. Near Fine. One of 600 copies in limited edition. This copy is unnumbered. Folio, 38 by 28 cm. Half title, title, iv, 45. [2] pp. With 12 lithographs by Vertes, and these have very occasional touches of color. A work concerning female domestic servants, and serving up light erotica, and fillip of naughtiness. The text is driven by the Vertès artwork, and not the other way around. Condition: Light soiling to pink wraps. Some edge wear to the wraps, now protected with mylar covering. Hinge in several places, when one opens the book widely, looks as if loosening or opening, probably a gap created by the cutting out a sheet of tissue, evidence of which is still visible in narrow strips. Otherwise, interior clean, binding tight.
