About This Item
Paris: George Guillot, 1948. Limited edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Lydis, Mariette. #193 of 320 numbered copies, part of the final 200 standard copies numbered from 71 to 320. Largo 4to, consisting of all loose signatures, ready for choice of binding in the French style. 20 full page drypoint etchings by Mariette Lydis of distinctly erotic nature to match the verses. Delicately touched with color highlights. Abundant nudity. The signatures are enclosed in stiff cream colored wraps printed in red. Protected by a tan paper-covered hardbound chemise with spine titling, and that inside a tan paper-covered slipcase with brown cloth framing the opening. The slipcase and chemise show signs of fingering and the bottom of the slipcase is beginning to split on one side, but the internal materials are fine and bright. Overall a handsome copy in a very good slipcase.
Synopsis
Bilitis naquit au commencement du sixieme siecle avant notre ere, dans un village de montagnes situe sur les bords du Melas, vers l'orient de la Pamphylie. Ce pays est grave et triste, assombri par des forets profondes, domine par la masse enorme du Taurus; des sources petrifiantes sortent de la roche; de grands lacs sales sejournent sur les hauteurs, et les vallees sont pleines de silence.
