Illustrations for Gamiani

Gamiani, ou une nuit d’excès (Gamiani, or A Night of Excess), written by Alfred de Musset, is one of the best-known and most-illustrated of French erotic novels.

Based on de Musset’s experiences with George Sand and her lesbian lover, Gamiani opens with Alcide watching Countess Gamiani and her young lover Fanny enjoying one another’s bodies. Very much aroused, Alcide reveals himself and joins them, and they spend the rest of their time together sharing their intimate stories and re-enacting scenes from them.

The Dignimont-illustrated Gamiani was published by Maurice Duflou in 1926 in an edition of 420 numbered copies.

Illustrations for Gamiani is a portfolio with 29 illustrations.
