PETRONE. The Satyricon. Paris, Aux dépens d'un amateur, 1951. In-folio, plum morocco, boards decorated with a geometrical pattern of gilt fillets along the sides drawing half-loose lines and delimited by a sixteen-sided listel of fawn morocco, spine decorated in the same way, brown nubuck lining and endpapers, gilt edges on witnesses, cover and spine, half-maroquin folder, case (Gras). 36 original out-of-text burins in black by André Derain, of which 3 are unused, and 44 ornaments drawn by André Derain and wood-engraved by Paul Baudier. 33 of these burins were engraved in 1934, for a project by Ambroise Vollard which never saw the light of day. The edition was only realized in 1951, well after Vollard's death in 1939, by Daniel Sicklès and René Bas. Edition of 280 copies on Arches vellum, this one of the 30 with a suite of the 36 burins. Magistral binding by Madeleine Gras. Biting on the edges, sometimes reaching the margins of the engravings.
