Description: Discover a literary treasure that has defied time and fate... We present an exclusive set of five volumes from a limited edition of Baudelaire, printed in 1947. This unique collection consists of only 16 copies on Arches vellum paper, elevating its value for collectors and literature enthusiasts. This set carries a special story, having survived an unfortunate fire that affected its binding. Fortunately, the interior of each volume is intact, with beautifully preserved illustrations and text, although some volumes exhibit light to moderate foxing. The covers remain in good condition, showcasing the resilience of this remarkable set. While the spine and corners show signs of dryness due to heat exposure, and the edges bear some wear and stains, this only adds character and rich narrative to the collection. This edition is not just a book; it is a testament to the enduring nature of literature. As if fate intended for these works to continue their journey, they invite their new owner to be part of their legacy.
