Salvador DALI.
La Femme visible. Paris, Éditions surréalistes, 1930.
In-4: paperback, silver paper cover, printed dust jacket filled with red crystal paper.
First edition.
Limited edition of 204 copies: one of 135 on arches (no. 106).
Beautiful composition by Salvador Dalí in the frontispiece; heliogravure retouched with a burin by the painter.
The illustration also includes a photographic portrait of Gala at the head of the book and 6 full-page reproductions.
The collection contains The Rotten Donkey, in which Dalí lays the foundations of his paranoid-critical method, The Sanitary Goat, the poem The Great Masturbator and Love.
A fine copy; the very fragile red paper cover is in good condition.
The insert written by André Breton and Paul Eluard and the announcement leaflet are enclosed.
(Mason, Vrai Dalí/fausse gravure. L'oeuvre imprimé 1930-1934, Geneva, 1992, p. 16: "The page drawn with a feverish pen and transferred to copperplate for La Femme visible has all the appearance of a pure heliogravure. However, this frontispiece is very discreetly reproduced with a burin here and there").
