In-8 grape leaves of 108 pages, 2 ff. with a pink paper cover decorated with a vignette (slipcase). Illustrated with 12 off-texts in colour and with lamp-heads signed by the eloquent pseudonym Jean Jouy. Limited edition of 275 copies. Number 1, with an original. Nothing attributable to Pierre Louÿs, according to Pia; the charms of Bilitis are not described here by the master of the hamlet of Boulainvilliers. The mention of "Dépôt légal" (legal deposit) which appears under the printing is fanciful. Pia 221, Dutel 1195.
