Paris, Pierre Corrard, 1914.
'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, folio (32.5 x 27.8 cm) title page with pictorial vignette to head and verso, 18pp., 12 full-page coloured illustrations by Barbier printed on rectos only, very minor stains to margin of a couple of plates, printer's leaf at end, original pictorial wrappers, wrappers a little browned, a very good copy.
Carteret IV, 59.
