Les Fleurs du Mal [The Flowers of Evil]
Poulet-Malassis et de Broise, Paris 1857, 12 x 19,5 cm, full morocco
First edition printed on Angoulême vellum, first printing copy complete with the six condemned parts and containing the fault "Feurs du Mal" on pages 31 and 108 and the pagination error on page 45 (marked 44 and corrected in pencil), very rare second state of the cover.
Bound in black morocco, gilt date at the foot, gilt fillets on the spine ends, boards decorated with a blind-stamped geometric design representing flames, red suede endpapers, bordered with a gilt fillet on the inner covers, gilt fillets on leading edges of sides, covers and preserved spine, all gilt edges, half morocco slip-case with black strips, smooth spine, gilt date at the foot, black watered silk endpapers, very elegant decorative binding signed by Devauchelle.
Baudelaire's first and main poetry collection, the work was partially censored when published for "offense to public morality, religious morality and good moral standards." The some 200 un-sold copies were seized and had six poems removed. Modern poetry's founding work,
Les Fleurs du Mal prefigures the works of Lautréamont, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Mallarmé.
Superb copy in a perfect decorative morocco binding from the 20th century.
