(WEGENER, GERDA.) Vérineau, Alexandre de (pseud. Louis Perceau). Douze Sonnets lascifs pour accompanger la suite d'aquarelles intitulée Les Délassements d'Éros. 12 pochoirs after watercolors by Wegener produced to accompany a series of erotically charged sonnets by Perceau. 4to, contents loose as issued in cloth-backed gilt-pictorial boards, soiled, ties broken; plates bright and clean. (Paris): Érotopolis, 1924
First published in 1917 without text, this volume is the first appearance of the plates with Perceau's poems; the images appeared again in Bragnell's Douze Quatrains. The playfully erotic, mostly Sapphic images each contain Wegener's trademark discarded black mask in the background. Pia 389; Dutel 1434; Monod 11060.
