MAGRITTE.- LAUTREAMONT (Isidore Ducasse, comte de). - Lot 744
MAGRITTE.- LAUTREAMONT (Isidore Ducasse, comte de).
The Songs of Maldoror. Illustrated with 72 drawings by René Magritte. Brussels, La Boétie, 1948, petit 4°, br., cover filled. 1/72 ex. of head on pure rag paper (ex. n° 4) including the definitive state of the engravings but without the original drawing announced at the justification. First edition of Magritte's illustrations. This book was not a success at the time of its publication and was sold for 50 Belgian francs of the time! The Brussels bookseller Marcel Dieu, an anarchist writer under the name of Hem Day, tried in vain to sell it at 90 francs, because he found it scandalous to sell such a book at such a low price.
