Basle & Geneva: Galerie Schreiner/Galerie Schreiner-Letu SA, [1975]. First Edition. Hardcover. Some scratches to the covers and rubbing to the front joint. Near Fine. Large folio (18" x 19") in full gilt-decorated and lettered black morocco leather by Zaehnsdorf with gilt dentelles and silk endpapers. Edited by Gerard A. Schreiner. Copy #91 of 99 SIGNED by the artist on the colophon page and at the end of the introduction, dated "75." Illustrated with 20 six-color ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHS, each individually SIGNED and numbered by Feilding. The lithographs are largely erotically-infused fantastic visions. According to Feilding's introduction, "'The dream of reason produces monsters,' said Goya, and indeed, fascination with the bizarre is as old and universal as the history of art itself. My attempt is to convey the waking dream, looking sublimates the desire to participate, and in the realm of the fantastic, it is a good deal safer."
