A hand-colored medallion appears on the front cover and another on the title page.

A gem from The Library of Guy Bigorie: Small ticket with GB initials tipped in to fly-leaf preceding half title. This copy was preserved in the original format as issued by the publisher. Considered one of the masterpieces of French literature, Les Fleurs du Mal was first published in 1857 and includes nearly all of Baudelaire's poetry. It was very controversial upon publication and both Baudelaire and the publisher were prosecuted under the regime of the Second Empire as an "an insult to public decency", and the author was fined 300 francs. Six poems from the work were suppressed and the ban on their publication was not lifted in France until 1949. Baudelaire forcefully broke with classicism, to free aesthetics from any moral or ethical consideration. His poems are based on observations of real life and delve into themes of melancholy, original sin, evil, death, sacred and prophane love, eroticism, decadence, lost innocence, the corruption of the city, and the longing for an ideal world. This edition is illustrated by Georges Rochegrosse (1859–1938), a historical and decorative painter, known for his colossal scale and emotional naturalistic style. His works were often sensational: some quite dark and brutal, others colorful, lofty, and ethereal. He was awarded the Légion d'Honneur in 1892.
