Includes 12 full-page, bound-in black & white illustrations by Surrealist artists. In a special handcrafted inlaid & overlaid leather binding by book artist Tim Ely. Bound in full orange/brown morocco leather with inlays or overlays of black, gray, red, blue/gray, violet & orange/brown leather & applied areas of "textured" or "puckered" leather in red/brown, orange/brown, tan & gray; black inked lines; lines, dots, circles, curves, "horse shoes", etc. stamped in gold, silver, copper or iridescent toned metallic foils to form an overall design spanning both covers & spine. Label area on lower spine reading: Comte De Lautremont. Double headbands sewn in many colored threads echoing binding colors. Top edge gilt & toned with a red wash. Dark brown endpapers & extra flyleaves bound in. Fore & bottom edges untrimmed; original front paper cover & spine removed & included loose in the clamshell case. Binding design executed with great skill but undated; it uses elements of some of the great Surrealist painters' illustrations in this book as Matta, Miro, Tanguy, Masson (those who mainly worked in a more "abstract" style). In a sturdy clamshell case (box) covered in gray cloth with title in black on spine; inner section lined with gray felt. Book shows some age spotting to fore edge; else, text, plates, binding & case in fine condition. This illustrated & bound book is both the quintessential surrealist & neo-surrealist object. No better title than the 1938 GLM edition of Lautreamont could have been found for this project & Timothy C. Ely's mildly unusual binding does this still very unusual work justice. Les Editions G. L. M. 190. (French text).…
