Both texts and drawings are printed in relief, after having been engraved. 22 ityphallic engravings, as funny as they are explicit. The texts are mysterious... Title, subtitle, epigraph, then 16 texts, each with an illustration, followed by the table of contents, and finally the justification. All included. First edition. Limited edition of 62 copies. This one unjustified, on Richard le Bas's vergé blanc d'auvergne. A new edition of 75 copies was produced in 1973 at a workshop in Zurich. René de Solier was a prolix and mysterious French writer. He was the husband of sculptor Germaine Richier, who welcomed Swiss sculptor and engraver Robert Müller into her studio... This book, erotic and inkless, is a work born of the complicity of the two artists... A rare book...
