This collection of Baudelaire’s poems with illustrations by French artist Manuel Orazi (1860\u20131934) didn’t turn up when I was searching for illustrated editions a few years ago. With over 50 full-page drawings or vignettes it’s more profusely illustrated than most. It’s also more determinedly erotic than most, concentrating on depictions of female flesh at the expense of the poet’s other themes; Orazi’s fleurs<\/em> on the title pages are a succession of priapic or vaginal orchids and fungi. The book was published in 1934, which means it was probably the last thing that Orazi worked on, but it resembles something from the fin de si\u00e8cle<\/em>, especially the work of F\u00e9licien Rops.
