I haven't done a book illustration post in a while. This time it's Salomé by Oscar Wilde, illustrated with pochoirs by André Derain. Limited Editions Club 1938.

This was a bit of a pig to photograph because it's bound in soft covers and doesn't want to lie flat.

It was actually bilingual. There is a companion volume which is a facsimile of the first English edition with illustrations by Beardsley in hard covers. The pair packaged together in a slipcase.
