[CURIOSA]. DOMERGUE, Jean-Gabriel, and PILLET, Roger. *Les oraisons amoureuses de Jeanne-Aurélie Grivolin*. Illustrated with color etchings by Jean-Gabriel Domergue. A superb edition of Roger Pillet’s famous erotic collection, illustrated with 10 voluptuous compositions by Jean-Gabriel Domergue, the master of gallant depictions of Paris during the Roaring Twenties. Paris, Collection du Lierre S.P.E.L., 1951. In-4 (290 x 230 mm) in loose sheets, with a padded cover, slipcase, and case. VII and approximately 100 pages (unpaginated), 10 color etchings by Jean-Gabriel Domergue as inserts, and 33 ornamental compositions in pink within the text. Tears at the hinges of the slipcase. A charming edition adorned with 10 etchings by Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889–1962). Pillet’s text is presented as a transcription of the erotic-mystical memoirs and prayers of a 16th-century Lyon libertine, Jeanne-Aurélie Grivolin. Jean-Gabriel Domergue offers a piquant and sensual interpretation, making this album a beautiful example of postwar galant bibliophilia. Limited edition of 381 numbered copies; this one is one of 325 copies printed on Vélin de Rives (no. 271). Clean and fresh interior.
