[GROS (Johannes). I, Doll. Text and etchings... - Lot 356 - Marie-Saint Germain
[GROS (Johannes). I, Doll. Text and etchings of a young girl on the page. At the sign "des petites vertus" [Paris, 1930]. In-12 of 255 pages, red half-chagrin with corners, spine decorated, gilt head, natural edges, cover and spine preserved, printed in red (binding of the time). First edition. Illustrated with 9 etchings outside the text, including one in the frontispiece. Edition of 400 copies. One of 350 copies on antique laid paper. First libertine novel by the talented Johannès Gros. This edition does not seem to be attributable to Maurice Duflou. It is only three-four years later that Perceau's accomplice will publish Les Délices libertines, making Gros the flagship of his publishing house. Despite the wording "Text and etchings of a young girl on the page", it does not seem that the author made the engravings. The illustrator is not identified. PC 837, Dutel 2003, not at the BnF
