Pierre-Jean de BÉRANGER. Complete works of P.-J. de Béranger. Tome V. Supplément [Chansons érotiques]. Paris, chez tous les marchands de nouveautés, 1834. In-8, 227 x 150 mm, of 178 pages (paginated 8-178), on wove paper, half plum-coloured long-grained morocco, corners underlined with a gilt fillet, spine with nerves decorated with a cold and gilt decoration, natural edges (old binding). Illustrated with a frontispiece in 3 states by Félicien Rops, 24 engravings by Henry Monnier, Tony Johannot and others, and an original drawing. Partly original edition, intended to complete the Perrotin edition of 1834 in 4 volumes of Béranger's works. At the bottom of page 179 appears this indication, probably spurious according to Pia: "Imprimerie de Petit, rue Saint-Denis, n° 380" This volume V, contrary to the other volumes, was only sold under the table and was seized and condemned to destruction by a decision of the Court of Assizes of the Seine rendered on October 24, 1834 The names of the printers involved in this trial were Chantepie père and fils, not Petit. A part of Béranger's Chansons érotiques had already appeared in a collection in 1829.
