About the Item

Chez les Passants is an original Rare Book written by Philippe-Auguste, comte de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (7 November 1838 – 19 August 1889) and illustrated by Félicien Rops (Namur, 7 luglio 1833 – Essonnes, 23 agosto 1898) in 1890. Original First Edition. Published by Comptoir d’édition, Paris. Format: in 12°. The dimensions and the weight are indicative. The book includes 320 pages with full page frontispiece etching. Good conditions. Félicien Victor Joseph Rops (7 July 1833 – 23 August 1898) was a Belgian artist associated with Symbolism and the Parisian Fin-de Siecle. He was a painter, illustrator, caricaturist and a prolific and innovative print maker, particularly in intaglio (etching and aquatint). Although not well known to the general public, Rops was greatly respected by his peers and actively pursued and celebrated as an illustrator by the publishers, authors, and poets of his time and provided frontispieces and illustrations for Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, Charles Baudelaire, Charles De Coster, Théophile Gautier, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Stéphane Mallarmé, Joséphin Péladan, Paul Verlaine, Voltaire, and many others. He is best known today for his prints and drawings illustrating erotic and occult literature of the period, although he also produced oil paintings including landscapes, seascapes, and occasional genre paintings. Rops is recognized as a pioneer of Belgian comics.
