A special edition of 6 copies on Chine sold for 10 francs, according to the 'Bibliographie de France 1972', followed by a small number on 'vergé' –like this copy– for 5 francs, and the ordinary copies sold for 3 francs. This copy contains: - Engraved portrait of the poet by Félix Braquemond. - 3 reproductions of drawings by Baudelaire. - Biography (Baudelaire's youth, with his first known, unpublished verse piece) signed Charles C[ousin] Bibliographe, December 1868. - Ten letters from Baudelaire to Messrs. Charles Asselineau and P. Malassis. - The drama l'Ivrogne (scenario of the drama); letters from Messrs. Tisserant, Hostein. - Letter from Alfred de Vigny to Baudelaire. - Letters from Eugène Delacroix to Baudelaire (five letters). - Letters from Messrs. Victor Hugo, J. Soulary, J. Barbey d'Aurevilly, Méryon, Taine. - Translation of Longfellow's The Peace Pipe - Rectifications to the study on Baudelaire by Mr. Théophile Gautier. - Baudelaire's funeral; speeches by Messrs.

Flaubert on 'Les Fleurs du Mal' and letter from Baudelaire to the Minister of State on the seizure of his book. Félix Henri Bracquemond (1833 – 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker. He played a key role in the revival of printmaking, encouraging artists such as Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro to use this technique. Unusually for a prominent artist of this period, he also designed pottery for a number of French factories, in an innovative style that marks the beginning of Japonisme in France. Condition: Near fine.
