Hardcover. Condition: vg. Limited Edition. 1/1300 numbered copies printed on vellum. 12mo. 153pp. Signed (Vralon) leather binding with gilt lettering to spine and embossed decoration (gilt and green honeycomb pattern) to boards. Colorfully decorated turquoise endpapers. Original wrappers bound in. Top edge gilt. Frontispiece. Magnificent collection of the works of Charles Pierre Baudelaire (1821 - 1867), one of the most influential French poets of the nineteenth century. His claim to fame is especially his first collections of poems, "Les Fleurs du Mal" [The Flowers of Evil], included here, where the principal themes were sex and death. He was also a magnificent translator: His translations of Edgar Allen Poe are delightful to read. Printed on high quality vellum paper. Minor browning to title page and wrappers. Owner's writing to contemporary free front endpaper. Otherwise clean and tight. In French. Very good condition.
