Second edition, partly original. A magnificent copy, one of the very few printed on large paper (papier v\u00e9lin) at Baudelaire\u2019s request and bound at the time by Wenger.<\/span><\/p>\n “C’est la seconde \u00e9dition originale. Apr\u00e8s la condamnation de 1857 et la suppression de six po\u00e8mes, Baudelaire doit recomposer son recueil, d’autant que, d\u00e8s ao\u00fbt 1858, le catalogue des \u00e9ditions Malassis et De Broise mentionne que la premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition est \u00e9puis\u00e9e. Le 1er janvier 1860 est sign\u00e9 un nouveau contrat (CP\/ 1, 648-649). Malassis a tenu \u00e0 demander le frontispice all\u00e9gorique \u00e0 son ami Bracquemond, qui finalement gravera un portrait. L’impression est faite \u00e0 Paris, chez Simon Ra\u00e7on et Cie. Le tirage est de 1500 exemplaires (prix: 3 F), plus 4 exemplaires sur chine, quelques exemplaires sur hollande, et quelques exemplaires sur v\u00e9lin fort, ceux-ci tir\u00e9s \u00e0 la de- mande de Baudelaire. La mise en vente a lieu au d\u00e9but de f\u00e9vrier 1861. Le volume contient les 100 pi\u00e8ces de l’\u00e9dition de 1857-moins les 6 pi\u00e8ces condamn\u00e9es – plus 31 des 33 pi\u00e8ces publi\u00e9es depuis la mise en vente de l’\u00e9dition de 1857 – moins Hymne et La Ran\u00e7on. Une seule pi\u00e8ce \u00e9tait encore in\u00e9dite : La Fin de la journ\u00e9e<\/i>. En tout, 126 pi\u00e8ces, ou 129 si l’on compte les quatre sonnets d’Un fant\u00f4me pour autant d’unit\u00e9s<\/i>. L’autre grande nouveaut\u00e9 est l’introduction de la section Tableaux parisiens<\/i> ; l’ordre des sections de 1857 est d’ailleurs modifi\u00e9” (Pichois & Avice).<\/p>\n One of the very rare copies on large paper, this one of the few (the number is unknown) printed on strong wove paper. About the copies on large paper Clouzot notes: “Some very rare copies on Chine, strong vellum and Hollande, very precious”.<\/p>\n As already mentioned above, Pichois is more precise about the copies on large paper: “4 on chine, a few copies on Hollande, and a few copies on strong vellum, these printed at Baudelaire’s request”.<\/p>\n This copy on strong vellum paper has an added portrait of Charles Baudelaire in 1844 after \u00c9mile Deroy, etched by Bracqumond and mounted on a stubb (the painting is today at the Mus\u00e9e national du ch\u00e2teau de Versailles. Inv MV 5682).<\/p>\n It also contains a loosely inserted autograph letter, signed, by Charles Baudelaire to Jules Rozier, dated 9 July 1861. Bifolium, 8vo (198 x 150mm), 1p., and adresse on verso of second leaf, 3 postmarks: Stamp cut out, without affecting the text. This letter does not appear in the Correspondance de Baudelaire edited by Claude Pichois. Rosier’s name (with an “s”) appears in the notebook in which Baudelaire kept his accounts, lists and schedule from July 1861 (the month in which this letter was written) to November 1863. This name appears in the column “Objects to take back”. Jules Rozier (1821-1882), Baudelaire’s contemporary and neighbour on the Ile Saint Louis, Rozier was a landscape painter and aquafortist, a friend of Henry Murger, author of Sc\u00e8nes de la vie de boh\u00e8me. He was a talented restorer of paintings and drawings.<\/p>\n Baudelaire entrusted him with at least one “detestable drawing” (1861). It is assumed that this was a drawing by his father. Baudelaire recognised its lack of artistic value but tried to acquire them. The “horizon” that Baudelaire refers to here concerns the new edition of Les Fleurs du Mal<\/i>.<\/p>\n Minor foxing on a few leaves and on the portrait of the edition.<\/p>\n A very fine copy on large paper, preserved in a rare signed contemporary binding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 8vo (186 x 121mm) portrait frontispiece by Bracquemont, 3 nn.ll.

“Mon cher Rozier, L\u2019horizon<\/i> s\u2019\u00e9claircit de nouveau pour moi, et je serais bien aise de faire promptement mon exp\u00e9dition. Je suis maintenant bien honteux de vous tourmenter ainsi, vous qui avez des affaires, et qui en m\u00eame temps montrez une si charmante bienveillance pour moi”;<\/p>\n
