Catalogue Note
Edition originale du troisième recueil de poésies de Catulle Mendès.
Catulle Mendès épousa la fille de Théophile Gautier, Judith, en 1866. Le couple ne dura pas et se sépara trois ans plus tard. Les deux poètes conservèrent néanmoins de bons rapports, reposant sur la reconnaissance de Mendès pour Gautier, qui l'avait pris sous sa protection à son arrivée à Paris.
