An attractive copy in the original wrappers of Barbier's early masterpiece dedicated to Tamara Karsavina.

'The cover design pays homage to Beardsley... and its 12 pochoir plates depict Karsavina in her principal parts. That their purpose is again to stir the emotion and delight the eye of the viewer, not to document the performance, is demonstrated by Le spectre de la rose, glimpsed at the moment when the phantom lover, of whom the young girl has dreamed after the ball, is about to disappear as the rose drops from her hand' (Ray).

First edition, limited edition, one of 500 numbered copies on papier vélin d'arches, this numbered 65 and initialled by the publisher; folio (325 x 278 mm) title-page with pictorial vignette to head and verso, 18pp., 12 full-page coloured illustrations by Barbier printed on rectos only, plates exceptionally fresh; original pictorial wrappers, spine slightly split at top and bottom, lower wrapper age toned, a near fine copy.
