NEWBook: Hardcover, 187 x 125 mm, modern binding ‘à la Bradel’ by Boichot in full orange morocco with gilt lettering to spine, in a morocco-bordered slipcase with gilt floral arabesque design, similar endpapers; original wrappers preserved; collated in 18mo, pp: [4] 1-441 [3].

HUYSMANS | ~~ | Là-Bas | {publisher’s device} | PARIS | TRESSE & STOCK, ÉDITEURS | 8, 9, 10, Galerie du Théâtre-Français | — | 1891 || Title-page: same as wrapper, in black. 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)”.

Illustrations correspond to the 1st edition of Pierre Louÿs’ « Pybrac / Poésies » published by Cythère Au coq hardi in 1927 [LIB-3061.2022], pp. 25, 37, 64, 69, 85, 86, and 94. Illustrations here are placed in the order they would have appeared in the book.- 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.
