Original illustrated wraps preserved. Pages are generally clean with occasional mild scattered spotting. Pierre Louys (1870-1925) French poet and novelist who made friends among the Symbolist writers of his day. Louys, along with Andre Gide, Henri de Regnier and Paul Valery founded two literary journals - La Conque (1891) and Le Centaure (1896). According to the Oxford Companion to French Literature - "His wide reputation in his own day rested on Aphrodite: moeurs antiques (1896), a novel of courtesan life in ancient Alexandria, a graceful mixture of licentiousness and erudition, with a continuing attraction for illustrators and fine binders." The first edition of Aphrodite was published in 12mo. without illustrations.
