Emaux et Camees par Theophile Gautier : Avec un portrait de l'auteur et deux eaux-fortes De H. Manesse D'apres les aquarelies de la Princesse Mathilde [Enamels and Cameos by Theophile Gautier: With a portrait of the author and two etchings From H. Manesse From the watercolors of Princess Mathilde] Author: Gautier, Theophile (30 August 1811 – 23 October 1872) 32mo (3" x 4.375") Full burgundy calf, 5 compartments, 2 panels with author and title, all edges gilt, marble endpapers Émaux et Camées ("Enamels and Cameos", 1852), published when Gautier was touring the Middle East, is considered his supreme poetic achievement. The title reflects Gautier's acompartmentonment of the romantic ambition to create a kind of "total" art involving the emotional participation of the reader, in favour of a more modern approach focusing more on the poetic composition's form instead of its content. Originally a collection of 18 poems in 1852, its later editions contained up to 37 poems. From Wiki: Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier (30 August 1811 – 23 October 1872) was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and art and literary critic.

While an ardent defender of Romanticism, Gautier's work is difficult to classify and remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism. He was widely esteemed by writers as disparate as Balzac, Baudelaire, the Goncourt brothers, Flaubert, Pound, Eliot, James, Proust and Wilde.
