*Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue* by the Marquis de Sade, illustrated by Albert Dubout, is a limited, numbered collector’s edition highly sought after by bibliophiles.

The book itself is in very good condition, with the interior appearing as new; it is housed in a sturdy slipcase (which shows minor signs of wear and some discoloration).

Justine, or the Misfortunes of Virtue was the first novel published during the Marquis de Sade’s lifetime (1791). A true classic of 18th-century erotic and philosophical literature, this provocative work blends libertinism, a scathing critique of religion, and reflections on vice and virtue. This edition, illustrated by Albert Dubout, is considered one of the finest versions of Sade’s text. Perfect for collectors of first editions, illustrated erotic books, and fine bibliophile bindings.
