Reviews
On Jan 27 2011, LouIrmo said:
This particular edition of this well known decadent novel in english translation, often illustrated, is illustrated here by the obscure but fascinating artist Lotan Welshans. It is a very handsome production in every respect from paper to typography. To the best of my knowledge, the only major book illustrated by this artist.
