Bruxelles / Brussels: Sous le Manteau, 1881. Hardcover. 3 volumes bound in one, published 1881, each limited to 175 copies for subscribers, 8vo, 1930s quarter calf, marbled boards, frontispieces in bistre by Rops (we believe) WITH AUTOGRAPH EROTIC POEM possibly signed by Theophile Gautier, bound in at the beginning. Lacking its first stanza, this poem was later published, with major revisions, as 'Questions' in his volume Poesies Libertines that was published after his death (he lived 1811-1872). The signature does not look like his. The poem as written here has several differences from the later printed version. 231, 226, 284 pp, first two frontispieces are etched, the third is either a lithogaph or a woodcut. Very good condition. Includes erotic and homosexual verse by Huysmans and Baudelaire among others. The poem by Gautier remains a conundrum - could it be in his hand? If not, who wrote it down? Why are there substantial changes between this and the posthumously published version? Very Good. Item #H1937
