Bruxelles (A la lampe dAladdin), 1929.. 1f. introductory text, 4 color lithographs. Lrg. 4to. Self-wraps. (portfolio). Contents loose, as issued. An unnumbered copy on vélin teinté, apart from 35 copies de luxe. The Liégeois painter Auguste Mambour (1896-1968), primarily Expressionist throughout his career, entered into a Surrealist period between 1926 and 1931. The plates present emblematic representations of four women, each with a central image in a different color--a stool, a safety pin, a divided circle, and a heart--juxtaposed with a pair of odd, leaflike folded shapes, and each with a different name, carefully written in script, rather in the manner of early Miró. Intermittent light wear. (Inventory #: B75923-1)
