Custom chemise and slipcase in half morocco and paper boards signed Boichot some discreet restorations to the spine and covers some discreet restorations to the top margin of the frontispiece not affecting the engraving. La Présidente honorary nickname given to Apollonie Sabatier alias Aglaëe Savatier her real name was one of the most captivating Salon hostesses of the 19th century. She inspired an ethereal love in Baudelaire who composed his most mystical poems in Les Fleurs du Mal in her honor. The other artists who frequented the apartment on Rue Frochot during her famous Sunday dinners had more licentious feelings for this woman of surprising wit and beauty. The sculptor Clésinger portrayed her in his lascivious woman stung by a snake; Flaubert wrote sensual letters to her ending with the very sincere affection of one who alas only kisses your hand; she has long since been recognized as the model for Gustave Courbet's scandalous The Origin of the World. Gautier sent her this letter in 1850. Sabatier made copies which she never published but privately distributed to her guests: In October 1850 Gautier sent her this very long letter farcical and obscene from Rome commenting with Rabelaisian exaggeration what himself and his friend Cormenin had learned regarding sexuality during their travels. Gautier knew that his freedom of expression would not offend Madame Sabatier. He had long since accustomed her to it and he prided himself on his smut to brighten up the friendly social gatherings of the Rue Frochot. Dictionnaire des uvres érotiques Honored indeed by this priapic attention La Présidente' gave copies to all her guests and the reading of Gautier's indecent prose became a popular event at Parisian soirées. However the letter was ultimately published luxuriously but confidentially after the recipient's death in 1890. After this first edition of 50 copies on papier japon a second edition on papier vélin followed a few months later with a larger print run and without the Rops frontispiece. A rare beautiful and very sought after copy. S. n. hardcover

The grande planche which measures approximately 350 x 250 mm and the petite planche which measures approximately 160 x 110 mm.

This accounts for the use of the descriptor "after" and also explains the general industry acceptance of this edition as being by Rops as the genesis of the image is indeed the original plate. <br /> <br /> Félicien Victor Joseph Rops 7 July 1833 - 23 August 1898 was a Belgian artist associated with Symbolism and the Parisian Fin-de Siecle.
