Title-page (red and black): PAUL MORAND | LES PLAISIRS | RHENANS | orné de sept lithographies originales | et coloriées à la main | DUSSELDORF | Librairie Leocadia || The front wrapper is the same, in black only. 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.

Pibrac (or Pybrac) by Pierre Louÿs is "composed of 313 rhymed Alexandrine quatrains, the majority of them starting with the phrase I do not like to see. Pybrac is in the form a mockery of sixteenth-century chancellor poet Guy Du Faur, seigneur de Pibrac (French, 1528-1584), whose moralizing quatrains were the common literary fare for young French readers until the nineteenth century".honesterotica.com: Pibrac is best remembered for his own collection of poems, a set of 126 moralistic quatrains, which throughout its endless printings bestowed good advice and guidelines to proper conduct…
