27 p. + [12] leaves of etched satiric plates by Volck. Lightly foxed. 20 x 16 cm. Original cloth binding, stamped in gilt and blind; slightly discolored. Written by James Fairfax McLaughlin (1839-1903), this is a caustic poetic satire on the "Black Republican" Union Civil War General and notorious carpet-bagger - Ben Butler (who was widely reviled for years after the war by Southern whites, who gave him the nickname "Beast Butler". It is most famous for its biting etched illustrations by the powerful artist and Confederate sympathizer A. J. Volck. Adalbert John Volck (1828-1912) emigrated to America from Bavaria in 1849, and became a successful dentist in Baltimore.

Illustrated with 43 original etchings (16 full-page and hors-texte) by Aristide Maillol, many of which are quite erotic. From a total edition of 230 copies, this is ONE OF 35 ON JAPAN PAPER. Only the copies on Japan are signed with Maillol's monogram, as this copy is. (Note: the individual etchings are not signed in this or in any other known copy. I once saw a copy with poorly forged penciled monograms on each of the hors-texte etchings, though.) This copy furthermore contains another etching by Maillol, "Feuille d'etudes" (Guerin 379), never published and extremely rare (this particular etching is illustrated in a full-page plate in Vollard's autobiography). Although Maillol illustrated several books with lithographs and woodcuts, this is the only one he did with etchings and, in fact, it contains almost the entirety of his work in this medium. One of Vollard's last great books: the great publisher died before the book was completed. According to Strachan, one of Vollard's "finest masterpieces." (p. 36) Small quarto, loose in original wraps as issued. Fine.

One of the great erotic illustrated books of the 20th century.
