Munich, Albert Langen, 1910. Cloth. A study of the works of Belgian printmaker, Felicien Rops. A study of the works of Belgian printmaker, Felicien Rops. Illustrated throughout with many reproductions of Felicien Rop's works, including one coloured plates. Like the works of the authors whose poetry he illustrated, his work tends to mingle sex, death, and Satanic images. According to Edith Hoffmann, the "erotic or frankly pornographic" nature of much of Rops's work "is at least partly due to the attraction these subjects had for a provincial artist who never forgot his first impressions of Paris". In a cloth binding. Externally, smart, with just some ink to the front board and a few marks. Front hinge is a little strained. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and quite clean, with just a few instances of foxing. Very Good . Ill.: Felicien Rops. Very Good .
