Two volumes, 168 x 106 mm each, uniformly bound in faux mottled calf ruled in gilt, marbled endpapers. Vol. 1: 3 blank leaves of wove paper, 3 blank leaves of laid paper, half-title/blank, blank/frontispiece, ‘engraved’ t.p./blank, both printed on laid paper watermarked “ARCHES A LA | MAIN”; ‘letterpress’ t.p.,/blank, pp.: [1] 2-115 [116 blank], 3 blank leaves of laid paper, 3 blank leaves of wove paper; collated 12mo: π2 A-I6 K4; total 60 leaves plus 16 ‘engraved’ plates, incl. t.p. and frontis. Vol. 2: 3 blank leaves of wove paper, 3 blank leaves of laid paper, half-title/blank, blank/frontispiece, ‘engraved’ t.p./blank, no watermark, ‘letterpress’ t.p.,/blank, pp.: 1-77 [78 blank], 2 blank leaves of laid paper, 3 blank leaves of wove paper; collated 12mo: π2 A-F6 G3; total 41 leaves plus 24 ‘engraved’ plates, incl. t.p. and frontis. Dutel (I): A-1089, p. 325: in-8 (probably by size only, no formula suggested), pagination 115 and 77 as here, 2 frontispieces, 2 engraved titles dated 1873, “et 36 belles gravures de Binet”. Cohen-DeRicci: p. 734 bottom: in-12, no pagination, no formula. "Thérèse" was offered by a French seller user-75d14f4 on the online auction platform CATAWIKI in December 2021. The seller's description of this two-volume set was: "Re-edition, the date of which I was unable to determine. (London, no name, 1782) 2 duodecimo volumes of 115 and 77 pp., very lovely marbled sheepskin pastiche bindings, gilded triple fillets, adorned spines, black title labels. This classic of 18th-century clandestine erotica was written in 1748 by an author who has remained anonymous, attributed at the time to Montigny, which led to his internment in the Bastille. It is now attributed to the Jean-Baptiste de Boyer, Marquis d'Argens. Edition illustrated with 37 very unrestrained figures, engraved in intaglio after Borel, unsigned." I should have paid more attention to the first phase, about the re-edition, but I didn't. After a few bidding rounds, I won the book when the hammer price was 2,200 Euros. On the 28th of December, 2021, I paid for this little beauty $2,760. The book arrived a few days later. The paper's quality and texture, the watermark, the absence of the platemark, and the lack of embossing on the back (text and plates) made me suspect it was a fake. The pages were absolutely flat to the touch! I established clear evidence of a high-resolution 'xerox' copy using Celestron Micro Capture Pro micro-photography. I wrote to the seller and the auction platform, explaining my doubts regarding its authenticity. To prove my point, I include a few micro photos of the "Thérèse" and some books printed at the end of the 18th century. I explained why I considered it a fake and requested a return/refund. After two months of email exchanges, the seller and the platform refused to pay me back. Today is the 2nd anniversary of the purchase. I still have the book. To celebrate my carelessness, I included it in my library to warn fellow book collectors about buying from an unknown dealer via certain online auction platforms. Ref.: Bamber Gascoigne.

Holding the postcard against the backlight reveals a hidden image of an indecent nature (erotic). The use of Latin characters "R" and "N" instead of Russian "Р" and "Н" suggests that the cards were produced in Europe, probably in France. Inscriptions: 1. ПЕRВЫЕ ДNИ; 2. ПОRА ЛЮБВИ; 3. ВЪ ЛЮДИ; 4.

- Je n’aime pas à voir deux sœurs l’une sur l’autre, L’une étendue, ouvrant ses deux cuisses en l’air, Et l’autre qui s’y plonge et s’y frotte et s’y vautre, Corps à corps, ventre à ventre et leurs cons chair à chair.
- Je n’aime pas à voir la douce concubine Qu’on encule toujours et qui, d’un doigt lascif Se branle le bouton, se tire la barbiche, Pour soulager son cul douloureux et passif
- Je n’aime pas à voir cette Sappho mascule Qui, dans sa chambre, habille une fille en garçon, Lui baisse la culotte et froidement l’encule Avec un godmiché plus gros qu’un saucisson.
- Je n’aime pas à voir la vierge au doigt lubrique Qui, les deux pieds en l’air, masturbe sur le lit Son pucelage en rut, gonflé, couleur de brique, Et décharge en baisant le roman qu’elle lit.
- Je n’aime pas à voir le garçon sur la fille Donner des coups au cul et danser le galop Aux applaudissements de toute la famille Qui dit : « Ça vient, putain ! Fais-la jouir, salop ! »
- Je n’aime pas à voir la princesse de Grèce, Qui, menée au bordel par sa fille d’honneur, Frotte sa bouche obscène au cul de la négresse Et crie en déchargeant : « C’est là qu’est le bonheur ! »
- Je n’aime pas à voir dans un bal de familles Que l’hôtesse dispose une chambre d’ami Et des lits de repos, au gré des jeunes filles, Pour sucer leurs danseurs ou se faire mimi.

Limitation: Il a été tiré de cet ouvrage dix exemplaires sur papier de Hollande et dix exemplaires sur papier du Japon, numérotés à la presse. This copy is not from the limited edition and printed on a regular paper. Printer: Darantiere (Dijon) Illustrations: According to Luc Binet [LIB-3301.2024], “In 2016, the Turin bookseller Roberto Cena put up for sale two full-leather bound albums, one containing watercolours illustrating Huysmans' famous novel, the other the preparatory drawings. The first volume contained 16 plates (sheet 25 x 16.5 cm, drawing 15 x 9.5 cm), i.e. 15 drawings in ink and pencil and one pencil drawing. Each plate is numbered at the top right, in pencil or ink, and captioned in the lower margin. Volume II contained 15 watercolours (sheet 25 x 16 cm, image 15 x 9.5 cm). This is probably a commission from a bibliophile since the chosen format is perfectly compatible with the original edition of Huysmans' text (19 x 13 cm)”.
