11 volume (of 12) of the Moulin de Pen-Mur edition of de Musset's works. Poetry (Poesie) volumes 1-3; Prose volumes 1, 2, 3 and 5. Theatre volumes 1-4. All are unsewn in wraps, with slipcases. They are each a limited edition of 1,200 copies. These are hand-numbered CLXII (162). Each has hand colored plates & an additional set of uncolored plates in a glassine wrap at the rear. Printed on "chiffon de lana" a fine art paper. The illustrations are brightly colored and some would be considered erotic (though no more so than the text they accompany). All have original decorated boxes made with the same paper as the wraps. The third theatre volume lacks the box. The second prose volume has a cracked rear hinge. Spines faded. All 11 volumes in very good condition, with wonderful illustrations. Text in the original French. Please email for photos. As an 11 volume set, shipping will be slightly more than the ABE default setting of $4. Please inquire if you're shipping out of the US. Seller Inventory # Fred-W555
