Sold
From the edition limited to 300 numbered copies.
A series of erotic poems written by Radiguet between 1919 and 1921. The collection 'Vers Libres' was published initially in 1926 but, at first, Radiguet's family denied that Radiguet was responsible. This edition was the third to be printed in the 1930s after two with illustrations by Rojan. The illustrations in the present work, although similar in style to those by Rojan, are likely the work of an imitator.
