(Balthus: 1908-2001) Brontë, Emily. Wuthering Heights. With lithographs by BALTHUS.
NY: Limited Editions Club, 1993, first edition, one of 300 copies, numbered and signed by the artist on the justification page, ill'd with 15 original lithographs by Balthus printed by Bruce Porter of Trestle Editions. The lithographs, in brown-toned black ink, are chine-colléed on Arches paper. The off-white mould-made stock is uniquely watermarked with the Klossowski de Rola (Balthus) family coat-of-arms. The binding is by John von Isakovics, goatskin dyed gray-green ”to evoke the Yorkshire moors that will always be associated with Emily Brontë and Heathcliff”. The book is housed in a linen clamshell box with an onlaid leather label on spine. Overall size 18 x 14 in. (46 x 36 cm). In new condition. A great production of this classic by Bronte illustrated by one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Balthus produced the drawings for ”Wuthering Heights” in 1933, but they were not published in a book form until 60 years later. He has never illustrated the entire book, only the first 15 chapters, as he clearly identifed himself with the world of childhood and adolescence of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.
