[Pierre LOUŸS] P. L. 3 Filles de leur mère. This work was produced exclusively for a group of bibliophiles, 1897 [ca. 1950]. In-4 of 2 ff. n.e.c., 151 pages in ff., folder titled in red, slipcase, covered with pink paper. Illustrated with 12 color lithographs by Édouard Chimot including a frontispiece in two versions. Limited edition of 350 copies on B.F.K. de Rives. Édouard Chimot (1880-1959) a renowned artist, was also artistic director for art editions. According to the author of the Wikipedia entry, "the consecration of Chimot was his role at Devambez. From 1923 to 1931, from his new Parisian studio on rue Ampère, he supervised the publication of art books illustrated by artists such as Pierre Brissaud, Edgar Chahine, Henri Farge, Alméry Lobel-Riche, and Tsugouharu Foujita. However, he reserved some exceptional texts to illustrate himself, namely Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louÿs (1925), Les Belles de nuit by Maurice Magre (1927), and finally Parallèlement by Paul Verlaine (1931)."
