ROPS (Félicien). *Uylenspiegel at the Salon*, by the authors of *Les Cosaques*. Review of the 1857 Exhibition. Brussels, printed by Parent, 1857 — *Uylenspiegel at the Salon*. Review of the 1860 Exhibition. Ibid., 1860. Set of 2 vols., small 4to, blue half-maroquin, gilt head, uncut edges, illustrated cover in good condition (Champs). FIRST EDITION of these two very rare pamphlets—especially when bound together—containing prefaces, notes on the exhibited works, and a total of 56 folios. unnumbered inserts featuring about a hundred witty and powerful sketches lithographed by Félicien Rops, in which he “takes aim” at contemporary artists (Courbet, Millet, Troyon, etc.) in a series of humorous fantasies, in which he proves himself a journalist and illustrator of the first order (Exstens, 179–180). Very fine copies, bound by Champs around 1880.
