Loti, Pierre. (pseudo. Louis Marie Julien Viaud) — Madame Chrysantheme
Paris, Calmann Lévy, 1888. Full black leather, gilt titles, beveled boards, all edges red, marbled endpapers. 328 pp. Illus. 8vo. Dessins et aquarelles de Rossi et Myrbach. Gravure de Guillaume Frères. Loti (1850-1923), French naval officer, achieved popularity with his impressionistic, exotic, and romantic tales and is a precursor to modern French fiction between the two world wars. This romantic tale of travel and adventure in Japan may have influenced Puccini's Madam Butterfly. Hinges and spine cracked but still tight, roll to spine, scattered foxing, leaves crisp; still a good copy.
