A wonderful example of the talent of Jean-Gabriel Daragnès and his visions of the Charles Baudelaire poetry. "Charles Baudelaire s poems known as Pièces condamnées (The Banned Poems), which were omitted at the demand of the French government censors. The forbidden poems ( Lesbos , Femmes damnées (à la pâle clarté) , Le Léthé , À celle qui est trop gaie , Les bijoux , and Les métamorphoses du vampire ) appeared in print in 1866, but were officially banned in France until the 1940s because of their lesbian and sado-erotic content. This made them particularly attractive to publishers of limited illustrated editions."*https://honesterotica.com/portfolios/1146. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 33358
