Condition: Near Fine. First Limited Edition. Twelve playful naughty richly colored pochoir plates designed by Wegener depicting a hedonistic frivolity to the lesbian lovers. Portfolio is 25.5 by 19.5 cm. 37 paginated pages -- blank flip side of leaves counted in pagination, but plates are not. In the illustrations creates a tapestry that fuses the opulent clothing with the female bodies, the explicitness sometimes concealed while being in plain sight. In each there is a tiny mask in a lower corner, this being a sort of signature by Wegener for these prints. This delectable sexual bon bon is fairly scarce, with only three institutional holdings outside of France recorded on OCLC First Search, all these copies in the US. (And there are three recorded copies in France.) The portfolio ribbon ties have perished. There is a light film of soiling on the cover as well, and the inside of the spine has chipping and tears -- evident only when one opens the portfolio. But the leaves within were meant to be loose, and the leaves, both the text and plate leaves, are generally clean, and the plates are near pristine. Portfolio. Paper pastedown on boards and cloth spine. Gerda Wegener (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. LIMITED EDITION. 1 vol., 10-1/4" x 7-7/8", 38pp. and illustrated with 12 additional hand-coloured pochoir plates by Gerda Wegener, limited to 350 copies, originally issued in a cloth backed portfolio this copy bound in contemporary full vellum, each plate bound opposite the corresponding text, internally clean and bright, some minor offsetting of plates to text otherwise a VERY GOOD copy. Gerda Wegener's (whose life is currently celebrated in "The Danish Girl") 12 aquarelles are not only considered one of the world's most artistic erotic paintings but her work also comes with a sensational backstory. Gerda's husband Einar served as a model for her aquarelles. Einar later underwent the world's first sex-change operation and became a woman. Gerda Gottlieb (1885-1940) rushed into the Royal Art Academy in Copenhagen to tell her classmates that fellow student-artist, Einar Wegener (1884-1931), had asked her to marry him. Gerda, who was Danish-Swedish, was beautiful and blonde; Einar was dark-haired and delicately handsome. She was nineteen, he a year older. They left for France to make their way in the Paris art world. The couple appeared passionately in love. One day on a whim, Einar picked up Gerda's dress and put it on. She took out her sketch pad and drew Einar as an ambiguous woman. As time passed, Einar dressed more and more as a woman, and Gerda used him as a model. The artistic work of both was well received, but Gerda was the more successful. By the mid-1920s she had become an important figure in the Paris art world as a portrait painter and and book illustrator. Louis Perceau (1883-1942), a French poet and writer, still renowned for his erotic works, asked Gerda Wegener to illustrate his book of erotic poetry, Douze Sonnets Lascifs, which was published in 1925. She created twelve watercolors which were individually silk-screened to accompany the 350 copies of the book. The portfolio was inserted in the book. The model for the dark-haired ambiguous woman in the aquarelles was Einar. Later, Einar underwent the world's first successful sex-change operation. The King of Denmark annulled the marriage between Gerda and Einar, who took the name "Lili Elbe." They lived together for a while but at Lili's insistence Gerda married a mutual friend, an Italian officer. Over the years most of the aquarelles were lost or bought by collectors. The portfolio was often removed from the original book of poetry—which was discarded.…

First edition thus. 37 + 12 pp., 8 x 10 inches (portfolio), 9.5 x 7.75 inches (prints). Five folded (octavo) text signatures, plus twelve pochoir prints, laid into portfolio of printed paper and cloth over boards, as issued. Prints in fine condition, with occasional tiny spots of foxing not affecting images. Text signatures uncut and in very good condition, with age toning and offsetting to first and last blank page. Portfolio lightly soiled, with mild bumps to corner and small tear to interior paper pastedown, still very good, with remnants of the original ribbon closures. Gerda Wegener (1886ñ1940) was a Danish illustrator and painter whose representations of women challenged norms of gender and sexuality. She married fellow artist Einar Wegener while still a student; after their relocation to Paris, Einar adopted the name and persona of Lili Erbe. Wegener often used Lili as a model. In 1930, Lili was one of the first people to undergo sex reassignment surgery; she died of complications from the surgery the next year. The couple's story became internationally known through the novel The Danish Girl (published in 2000, and translated into a dozen languages), and the 2015 film of the same name.The twelve stunning pochoir prints (after the original watercolors) in this portfolio were originally issued alone in 1917; apparently neither that issue nor a 1921 issue sold well. In 1925 the publisher paired them with the Perceau sonnets. Each print bears Wegener's trademark black harlequin mask in a corner of the image as a signature.…

[The Priapeés Published for the First Time, Accompanied by a Curious Note from Helpey, Bibliographer of Poitevin]. Manuscript section signed pseudonymously, small 8vo., blank, half-title, title, [1p.], ii-iv, [1p.], pp-2-50, violet ink, 100pp. notebook, sewn, manila paper wrapper with holograph titles on upper portion and on the spine of the handmade glacine jacket in Perceau's hand. Paris, MCMX, 1914-1917. £900.00 Glacine browned and nicked, top edge dusty, manuscript crisp and clean in a legible and comely hand, one quire loosening. Pia 1178 for the full printed book. The BnF retained Perceau's fiches and other items from Julio Mario Santo Domingo's massive estate (three or so years after I outbid the entire saleroom decisively for him on the phone ) to add to their other archives of letters with Apollinaire et al but there seem to few if any original manuscript works of prose or poetry in their holdings. The Kinsey Library has but one photomechanical ?manuscript' under the nom de plume ?Ve?rineau' and no others. Provenance: the great erotic bibliographer Louis Perceau, with his characteristic holograph titles over the glacine. An interesting, important and rather attractive prototype of a section of the book which was printed in a quite small run. The manuscript includes 27 ten-line poems that make up Les Priape?es themselves and nine of the opening pages of Helpey's contribution. The first poem is dated January 3 1914 and the last is March 2 1917. ?Helpey ' is a pun on the English pronunciation of Perceau's initials perhaps. 219602.…

The author's manuscript and loose proofs of the French printed book. I. Original manuscript. 8vo. (20.9 x 13.5 cm.), 3ll. loose unpaginated bifolia [8pp.]; holograph title and epigram from Horace in purple ink. With a signed, contemporaneous presentation inscription from the author to his cousin Renee? Rode in sepia, dated 8 years before publication. The text in blue ink, minus the title in purple on the first page, with the 18 stanzas numbered in latin and with stanzas marked with brackets and numbering in pencil on the left margins. N.p. [Paris], c. 1924, inscription dated September 1926. II. Original author's proofs for the second edition. 8vo., endpaper, 2 duplicate leaves thus: half-title/notice, title in red and black, pp-5-11, [1p.], endpaper, fore-edges untrimmed. The uncut bifolia inserted into an oversized paper folded wrapper of grey-blue Ingres with titles in red and black on the upper portion and the author's real name. Paris, Imprime? Pour L'Auteur [by Maurice Duflou], 30, rue du Dr Heulin, MCMXXXIV, [1934]. Both in a red Avery document folder. £5,000.00 The wrapper is a trifle tired but both manuscript (with one old central horizontal fold) and pamphlet are in a crisp and impeccable state, the former entirely legible. The published book is very rare in- deed, WorldCat shows only the BnF's, Ex- 'Enfer' , copy and another in the Santo Domingo deposit at Harvard's Houghton Library (this, possibly, the Jean-Pierre Faur and Emmanuel Pierrat copy). Good manuscripts by Perceau come but rarely on the market, they were shaken out of the bushes by Santo Domingo's need to acquire in a huge sale and when he got me to try and outbid the loom- ing BnF's intervention for Perceau's catalogue fiches. The full inscription on the title of the maquette like manuscript in a careful hand and a beautiful signature with a flourish, reads: '' A ma cousine Rene?e Rode 'la jeune e?pouse?e' mais moins rousse, j'imagine Louis Perceau septembre 1926'' [' To my cousin Rene?e Rode 'the young bride' but less red, i would imagine Louis Perceau september 1926 ]. Provenance: Perceau to Rene?e Rode, sold at auction to Vrain thus to Santo Domingo. A clandestine work of urolagnia written by the great bibliographer of erotic literature, one of the three pillars, along with Apollinaire and Fleuret, who compiled the monumental ?Enfer de la Bibliothe?que nationale' . Published from his home address. Perceau kept it in the family, so to speak, and gave it to his young cousin, the ' young bride ' with less ' red ' than the ' Jeune E?pouse?e ' with the ' russet-hued fleece ' of the third, obscene, poem in the collection. Pia notes that ' . the greater amount of examples of this pamphlet were sold during soirees at the Lapin Agile, Montmartre, where Perceau went once or twice a week to recite his Pisseuses' (my translation). ? The Nimble Rabbit ' where a mere twenty years before, the host Pere Fre?de? sang popular songs on an out of tune guitar to Picasso and his circle. 243762.…
