BAUDELAIRE Charles (1821-1867). Les Fleurs du mal, poems. Paris, Poulet-Malassis et De Broise, 1857; in-12 (190 x 125 mm), ebony jansenist morocco, old pink morocco lining with gilt fillet, purple moire endpapers, double endpapers, gilt edges on witnesses, cover (Noulhac) First edition with first printing remarks. The copy is complete with the condemned pieces, which the publisher had to remove from the volumes still in his possession after the ruling of the Tribunal de la Seine. The volume is enriched by an interesting autograph letter from Baudelaire to Champfleury: he met insolent and stupid people, who gave him a "kick from the donkey". A very fine copy.
