[Alfred de MUSSET - Louis BERTHOMMÉ SAINT-ANDRÉ] A. de M. Gamiani ou Deux nuits d'excès. At the expense of an amateur [Marcel Lubineau], 1930. In-8 of 2 ff., 98 pages, 1 f., filled cover printed in purple. Illustrated with 16 original lithographs out of text and 6 bands or vignettes by Louis Berthommé Saint-André. Limited edition of 551 copies. One of 500 copies on Rives vellum. Dutel states: "This edition is much more beautiful than the new edition that Berthommé Saint-André will illustrate a dozen years later." Berthommé Saint-André studied in the workshops of Cormon and Laurens at the École des beaux-arts in Paris. Over the first half of the 20th century, a dozen titles are attributed to him. They were often republished, probably without his approval. Let us remember that, like many authors and protagonists of the "clandestine erotic literature" - Aragon, Mac Orlan, Malraux, Pia, etc. - he was one of the most prolific writers of the time. - one of the most prolific illustrators of curiosa actively participated in the Resistance, refusing to submit to an order that did not suit him. Dutel 1644, not in the BnF's Inferno.
