ELSKAMP (Max).
Illuminations. Landscapes. Flowers. Lives. Songs. Grotesques. Brux, Lacomblez (Impr. Monnom), 1898, 8°, br. with filled parchment cover (spine browned with small lack at tail). First edition decorated with 80 original woodcuts. Limited edition of 256 copies, 1/250 on Hollande laid paper. "One of the most adorable collections of the poet" (de Sadeleer, 20). It took him three years to write it, three "years of blissful contemplation and constant attraction to the thousand facts and images of a small town in Flanders where life is peaceful, childish, candid and pious" (H. van de Velde tells his colleagues [...] about Max Elskamp's poetic training, 1934).
