Plate (facing page 132) from Les Chants de Maldoror (The Songs of Maldoror)
1934
One from an illustrated book with forty-two photogravure and drypoints after celluloid engravings
A surrealist etching depicts fragmented human limbs and body parts intertwined with a tree-like structure. A hand holds a knife, poised to strike a dangling mass of hair. Another limb ends in a foot with a quill pen inserted into its ankle.
