Or, approximately translated: "March 1973, To Albert Sonnenfeld, on behalf of a disciple (until now very little discipline) recognizing the influence of the lessons of the dear master. - Jack Deaver, Marquis de Facades. P. S. Mallarmien Poem against War. This Evil, the army. A male, tears. So evil weapon, alarms me. Hey?" Apparently, Albert Sonnenfeld is a French literature and comparative literature educator, food historian and since 2004 a Professor emeritus. He is a Fulbright fellow, 1966-1967; 1958 - 1986: Professor, French and comparative literature Princeton University; 1986 - 2004: M.F. Chevalier professor , French and department chairman University Southern California; and a member of The Athenaeum (London). Also, interestingly, listed as a noteworthy literature educator and historian by Marquis Who's Who. Translation by Stephane Mallarme, whose real name was Etienne Mallarme, was a French poet and critic, and a major French symbolist poet. His work anticipated and inspired several revolutionary artistic schools of the early 20th century, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Futurism. Edgar Allan Poe was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Prolificly famous for his tales of mystery and the macabre, he was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and considered the originator of detective fiction. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction and was the first well-known American author to solely rely on his writing, resulting in hard times intersperced w/splendor. The 1875 Parisian edition marked a turning point in the history of the illustrated book. Translated by Mallarmé, w/lithographs by Manet, the bilingual volume was a bold, early attempt at a new type of collaboration -the livre d'artiste, a genre which eventually flourished in the twentieth century. The constellation of Mallarmé, Manet and Poe appealed to the avant-garde in French literature and art. When first published, Le Corbeau faced hostile criticism in regards to Manet's modernist imagery. It sold poorly and nearly twenty-five years passed before any publisher dared a similar combination of art and literature. Nevertheless, a door had been opened. Manet's illustrations are believed to have been printed directly from stone by transfer lithography. Edgar Allan Poe's hazy narrative begins on a night in December when "The Raven" haunts the unnamed narrator who sits reading "forgotten lore" to sublimate the loss of his love, Lenore. A "rapping at his chamber door" reveals nothing, yet excites his soul to "burning". A similar rapping, slightly louder, is heard at his window. Oversize, insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Signed limited edition, out of series, this copy printed on japon for Yves and Georges Normandy, to whom the translator has inscribed the half-title: "À mes très cher amis Yves et Georges Normandy, de tout cur, Armand Godoy". The frontispiece is signed by Lydis, a Paris-based artist acclaimed by the avant-garde, who fled France as the Nazis closed in. Mariette Lydis (1887-1970) settled in Paris in 1926. She excelled in several mediums, including painting, draughtsmanship, and printing, and regularly combined techniques: in this case, she paired etching with aquatint. Her artwork "often exuded a sense that her subjects are anxious or dreaming" (Artnet), making her an ideal candidate to provide a frontispiece for Poe's oblique and tormented poem. "Books were Lydis's most important medium, many published during the Parisian years in which she produced her best and most enigmatic work" (Croft & Jones, p. 3). Cuban by birth, the translator Armand Godoy (1880-1964) believed French was the language best suited to poetry. He composed many Symbolist poems in his second, preferred language. The recipient of this copy, Georges Ségaut, alias Normandy (1882-1946), was a journalist, writer, and literary critic. In 1919, he married the dancer Germaine Aymos (1887-1930), who became famous following her 1907 performance at the Moulin Rouge in which she appeared on stage wearing only three shells. She was arrested for public indecency and met Normandy while he reported on her trial and defended her actions in the press. She changed her name to Yves following her marriage and began a new career as a journalist. The edition comprised 1,501 numbered copies. Justin Croft & Cult Jones, Mariette Lydis: Dreams and Destiny, 2023. Quarto, pp. 32. Etched and aquatint frontispiece signed by Lydis, title page printed in red and black. Uncut in original grey printed wrappers. With original glassine. Foot of spine splitting, contents lightly foxed, glassine wrapper chipped and creased at extremities: a very good copy.
