ROPS.- GEFFROY (Gustave). The Voice. Paris, E. Dentu, " Collection Félicien Rops ", [1889], 4°, 49 p., violin half calf with corners, smooth spine, gilt title (rubbed binding, split front jaw). Edition of 555 copies. 1/20 copies of head (n° 1). Etching by Félicien Rops added. We have not found any copy of this brochure from the "Félicien Rops Collection". No wonder, here is what Hélène Védrine said: "In 1889, Dentu had begun the publication of 12 booklets, each containing an etching by Rops accompanying a tale or short story. This publication mixed the regime of the print and the book under the title Collection Félicien Rops. The choice of writers was left to the illustrator, then at the height of his fame [...]. Unfortunately, this Collection never saw the light of day. "(Hélène Védrine, Félicien Rops, Brussels, Complexe, p. 165).
