Worldcat lists copies only at Yale and the Bibliothèque nationale de France although it is not rare in commerce. This copy from the library of Gershon Legman. A collection of fifty bawdy ballads beginning with the venerable and obscene "Les Trois Orfevres a la Saint Eloi." In the forward the compiler under the pseudonym "Vidame de Bozegie" explains the book was demanded by subscribers to his previous work 3 Orfèvres à la Saint-Èloi privately printed in Paris in 1930 who welcomed it as a monument de la chanson étudiant but lamented the lack of printed music. In this volume he presents fifty of "the best songs" in "a luxury edition on beautiful paper illustrated with color drawings worthy of a bibliophile." The music for each song is illustrated by pochoir. The author goes on to state: "I have avoided giving the illustrations an erotic character. They are obviously saucy but do not shock too-puritan eyes. I believe them to be worthy of the text." Puritan eyes would probably disagree in the strongest possible terms but it is true that alongside the lyrics the illustrations are comparatively restrained. Gershon Legman the great bibliographer of erotica erotic folklore and origami attributed the work to Edmond Bernard who was responsible for other significant collections of erotic folksongs. See Legman G. "Erotic Folksongs and Ballads: An International Bibliography." The Journal of American Folklore vol. 103 no. 410 1990: 417-501 referencing his own presumably this copy: "Copy: G. Legman. Edited by Edmond Dardenne Bernard as a supplement to his Anthologie Hospitaliere et Latinesque 1911-13 and its partial reprinting in 1930 as Trois Orfevres a la Saint-Eloi.
