[Alfred de MUSSET - Louis BERTHOMMÉ SAINT-ANDRÉ] A. de M. Gamiani ou Deux nuits d'excès. At the expense of an amateur [Marcel Lubineau, 1930]. In-8 of 2 ff., 98 pages, 1 f., red half-percaline, black title page, natural head and edges (modern binding). Illustrated with 16 original lithographs out of text and 6 headbands or vignettes by Louis Berthommé Saint-André. Edition limited to 1 unique copy. 50 copies on Japon impérial with a suite with remarks and an original drawing. 500 copies on vellum of Rives. Limited edition of 551 copies. One of the 500 copies on vélin de Rives. 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 in Paris. Over the first half of the 20th century, a dozen titles are attributed to him. They will often be republished and probably without his agreement. Let us recall that, like many authors and protagonists of the "clandestine erotic literature" - Aragon, Mac Orlan, Malraux, Pia, etc.. - one of the most fertile illustrators of curiosa participated actively in the Resistance, refusing the submission to an order which did not suit him. Dutel 1644, not in the Hell of the BnF.
