(Maele, Mv). La grande danse macabre des vifs. 4 installments. (Paris, 1905-1909). 4 engraved titles and 40 unnumbered etchings (= 44 etchings in total). 4°. Loose in a contemporary parchment slipcase (signed 'O. Gurbat, Berlin') with two clasps. Pia, Enfer 589.- First edition, published by Charles Carrington in Paris.- Complete set with the 4 installments of the sometimes grotesquely erotic etchings by the French illustrator Martin van Maele (actually Maurice Francois Alfred Martin; 1863-1926), full of surrealist motifs and figures. The artist usually recorded the underlying literary and artistic sources in the titles of the etchings. - The first two title etchings bear the edition number 'Tiré a Cent', but according to Pia, not all 100 copies were printed; the present copy is unnumbered. - On wide-margined, chamois-colored wove paper from Arches. - The four title etchings are slightly foxed or lightly browned.
