NEWHardcover album 387 x 300 mm, bound in orange half-calf over green paper with vertical black zig-zag and embossed gilt rings, by Isy Brachot of Brussels; includes a photographic portrait of D. H. Lawrence pasted to front green ffl verso, ms title-page, six pages of ms text with a woodcut portrait of the same to page 2, 27 plates (including eight double-page), one blank leaf followed by ten pages of ms text and back green ffl with text to recto, 49 leaves total, plates on thick wove paper, text on Canson & Montgolfier watermarked laid paper, all unpaginated; in a slipcase. The title page indicates: “Vertés, a fashionable and popular designer from 1940 to 1960 […] attempted to illustrate in 1959 the famous novel by D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover, but not getting along with his publisher, he sold his sketches for two thousand dollars to count Charles de Kerchove de Denterghem (1819 – 1882). Further, the t.p. reads: Les esquisses, lit-on encore sur cette page, furent reliées par Isy Brachot de Bruxelles. Elles furent classées par lui sans ordre, comme elles venaient. En préface figurent un bref résumé du roman, un historique des difficultés qu'il connut, un compte rendu de sa victoire finale. En postface sont transcrits, en langue originale, les scènes illustrées par Vertès dans l'ordre où elles se trouvent écrites, ainsi qu'une appréciation de l'art de Vertès. Michel Vokaer’s Bibliographie de Marcel Vertès (1967) does not mention this collection of sketches; however, it says that the artist had produced two test etchings for Lady Chatterley’s Lover around 1936, which remained unpublished. The gouaches were drawn in the US, and the texts accompanying them are in English, so one could suppose that the prospective publisher—who remains unknown—was American.

Limitation: Cette édition, imprimée pour une Société de Bibliophiles, a été tirée à 107 exemplaires hors commerce, savoir: exemplaires sur vieux japon, numérotés de 1 à 7, et 100 exemplaires sur vélin d'Arches, numérotés de 8 à 107. Les lithographies ont été tirées sur presse à bras et coloriées à la main. Les pierres ont été poncées après tirage. Exemplaire N° 81. [The edition was printed for a bibliophile society in 107 non-commercial copies: 7 copies on “vieux Japon” paper, numbered from 1 to 7, and 100 copies on “Arches Vellum”, numbered from 8 to 107, of which this is copy № 81]. An unauthorized (pirated) edition of two short stories by Paul Morand, initially published in “L’Europe galante” by Éditions Grasset in 1925: Les plaisirs rhénans and Éloge de la marquise de Beausemblant; illustrated with 7 lithographs coloured with crayons after Gaston-Louis Roux, printed by Mme Duchatel; the stones were then destroyed (sanded). According to Pia: « Pour le principe, semble-t-il, Bernard Grasset à qui aucune autorisation d’éditer ainsi ces deux nouvelles n'avait été demandée, déposa une plainte contre X... en contrefaçon. L'enquête judiciaire, si enquête il y eut, n’aboutit pas. Le tirage de l’édition « pirate » avait été si restreint que tous les exemplaires en avaient été vendus sitôt parus. Le coupable, en l’occurrence René Bonnel, ne fut pas inquiété ». Dutel attests: « Un des personnages, subissant une agréable fellation, représenté sur l'une des lithographies, ressemble fort à Paul Morand qui en avait pris ombrage! » Comment by the seller: L’ouvrage est d’autant plus rare que Morand lui-même, mécontent d’une des gravures qui le représente en position intéressante, fit détruire une partie des exemplaires. Resume: While Bernard Grasset opposed the pirated edition on copyright infringement grounds, Paul Morand was enraged by his resemblance to the depicted character; the latter destroyed as many copies of the edition as he could, so only a few still exist. The print run of the "pirate" edition was so limited that all the copies were sold as soon as they were published. Catalogue Raisonné: Dutel III № 2215 (p. 321) ; Pia : № 1056; Nordmann (I) № 281.
