Contributors: Pierre Louÿs (French, 1870 – 1925) – author. Feodor Rojankovsky [Rojan; Рожанковский, Фёдор Степанович] (Russian-American, 1891 – 1970) – artist. As for the illustrations, Pascal Pia (1978) in Les Livres de l'enfer does not provide any attribution. Jean-Pierre Dutel in his Bibliographie des ouvrages érotiques publiés clandestinement en français entre 1920 et 1970 (2005) attributes the illustrations to René Ranson (René Gontran Ranson, 1891 – 1977). After that, many antiquarian dealers and bloggers (John Kruse of johnkruseblog) repeat that wrongful attribution made by Victor Arwas. Now, Mr. Dutel has instructed me to inform the audience that the attribution in Bibliographie des ouvrages érotiques was wrong and that the illustrations for this edition were produced by Feodor Rojankovsky. -

Haddon Craftsmen (Scranton, PA) – printer. The Dial Press – publisher (1923-85)honesterotica.com: Here is what Caresse wrote about May and Frans during their time together in interwar Paris, from the copy of her autobiography which she inscribed to them with the telling inscription ‘our most passionate years with you!’: ‘Frans de Geetere came to France dragging his barge behind him, and having manoeuvered the dikes of Holland and the frontiers of Belgium and the northern waterways of France, he strode into Paris one summer evening towing his dwelling with May den Engelsen, his timid blonde bride atop of it – he on the footpath, a stout rope about his lean and muscular middle. At twenty-one with the sunburned torso, a crest of wild black curls, and snapping black eyes, Frans was a storybook character, and May, his Netherlands wife, was as frail and honey-golden as some princesse lointaine. There were two tortoiseshell kittens aboard and a hold stuffed with paintings of flowers and nudes in profusion, for Frans had come to Paris for Art’s sweet sake, not to study because he was already confident and bold, but to compete in the marketplace with the greatest artists of the day.’
