Now very scarce, as most copies were broken up to frame the excellent plates. The monotypes were created by Degas in 1880, but this legendary book was not published until 1938.

The project was resurrected more than 50 years later, this time utilizing the very attractive hand-pulled etchings by Maurice Potin.
