A posthumous work by a celebrated incognito. Paris: The Erotica Biblion Society of New-York, 1897.
176pp. Limited edition of 250 copies Printed on glossy laid paper watermarked The Conqueror.
Possibly Carrington. First published by Augustin Brancart in 1870 as Le Roman de Violette. A later edition was published, c.1883, probably by Kistemaeckers, with 6 engravings by Fredillo. The first English translation was published, possibly by Mlle. Doucé, in 1891.
Through the years the authorship of this work has been falsely attributed to Théophile Gautier, Victor Hugo or Alexandre Dumas...however, the author of 'Violette' is now believed to be Mannoury d'Ectot; a host to poets and artists at her house in northern France and girlfriend of Théodore Hannon, author of Rimes de joie (1881).
