[Alfred de MUSSET - Louis BERTHOMMÉ SAINT-ANDRÉ] A. de M. Gamiani or Two Nights of Excess. At the expense of an amateur [Marcel Lubineau], 1930. A volume in-8 (215 x 165 mm) of 2 ff, 98 pp, 1 f., filled cover printed in violet. Cream-coloured folder and case. Illustrated with 16 original lithographs out of text and 6 headbands or vignettes by Louis Berthommé Saint-André. Limited edition of 551 copies. One of the 500 copies on Rives vellum. Dutel specifies : " This edition is much more beautiful than the new edition that Berthommé Saint-André will illustrate a dozen years later. "Berthommé Saint-André studied in the workshops of Cormon and Laurens at the École des beaux-arts de Paris. During the first half of the 20th century, about ten titles were awarded to him. They were often republished and probably without his agreement. It should be remembered that, like many authors and protagonists of "clandestine erotic literature" - Aragon, Mac Orlan, Malraux, Pia, etc. - he was the only one to have published a book on the subject. - one of the most fertile illustrators of curiosity participated actively in the Resistance, refusing to submit to an order that did not suit him. Altar 1644, not the Hell of the BnF.
