First edition on ordinary paper; there were only five extremely rare large paper copies printed on China paper. Half brown morocco Bradel binding by T. Boichot, gilt date to foot of spine, marbled paper boards, covers (with skillful marginal repairs) and spine preserved, top edge gilt. Autograph inscription from Villiers de l'Isle-Adam to Victor Wilder, the poetic translator of the works of Richard Wagner. The inscription records the friendship of the two men, which developed most of all in their collaboration on the Wagnerian review until 1888. A very good copy in a good binding.
