BAUDELAIRE, Charles. LES FLEURS DU MAL. Paris: Limited Editions Club, 
1940. Octavo (7" x 9") bound in full gray morocco with multi-colored 
morocco onlays on the front cover and the original light blue wraps 
bound in, the binding signed by Denise Laurence. The definitive edition 
of the original French text with a preface by Camille Mauclair. 
Illustrated with 6 full-page and 21 part-page pen and wash drawings by 
Auguste Rodin, printed in collotype by Georges Duval and hand-colored by 
Maruice Beaufume in Paris. The illustrations are reproduced from the 
copy of the book Rodin illustrated for Paul Gallimard. Copy #142 of 
1500, unsigned as issued. Fine copy, bright and fresh including the 
original wraps in a Fine, specially made slipcase.
This title was delayed seven years in shipment because of World War II 
with members not receiving the book until 1947. The books were stored 
under great hazard during the Nazi occupation and could not be finished 
until the war in Europe had concluded. (#016088)        $500.00
