Revue Franco-Belge d'art en de lettres. Numéro spécial consacré à Georges Rodenbach - Julliet/Août 1923.
A very good copy in a traditional glassine protection cover.
La Nervie was a French-Belgian literary magazine. This issue specifically has a focus on Georges Rodenbach, a symbolist Flemish writer and poet writing in French. He was the author of Bruges-la-morte, dubbed 'a symbolist novel' by his friend, French monstre sacré Stéphane Mallarmé and a small literary masterpiece of the Flemish mystique in French-language literature.
The book was first published as a feuilleton in French daily Le Figaro between February 4 and February 14, 1892. In June 1892, it was published as a book by Marpon & Flammarion, containing a frontispice by Fernand Khnopff and 35 photographic illustrations, making it the first book in French to structurally use photography as a medium to illuminate a text. In later editions, the number of photographs was limited (only 19 in the 1909 edition, to be replaced completed by drawings in the 1914 Flammarion edition).
