Illustrated original paper boards (somewhat browned, partly stained, edges partly creased). First edition. - With handwritten dedication by the French/Jewish artist Andrée Karpelès (1885-1956), including her later Swedish husband Adalvik Högman, dated "Chitra 1927". - "A curiosity among the picture books of the 1920s is ... the sex education book "Maman, dis-moi..." published in Paris in 1927, a precursor, so to speak, of the 'Sex Education Atlas' published 40 years later. Although the book, translated into German in 1928, does not represent a picture book genre of those years, it allows conclusions to be drawn about what was at best still accepted as sex education for children, if it happened at all."

Precious compendium of the Sade collection by Gilbert Lely, the great publisher and biographer of the Marquis de Sade, with 15 letters or manuscripts by the Marquis, and numerous documents concerning him.

At the head of the volume, the autograph title is followed by an autograph poem by Gilbert Lely, Songe double, evoking the memory of Sade.
