Very Good/No Jackets - As Issued. np + np, 347 monochrome illustrations, top edge gilt. A landmark publication on the work of a modern artist at the time of its publication, this lavishly produced two-volume undertaking is devoted to reproducing each of the three hundred and forty-seven erotic engravings made by Pablo Picasso during an extraordinary year-long burst of activity near the end of his life.
