Frontispiece from Les Épaves

Charles Baudelaire publishes Les Épaves ( Strandgut ) for enthusiasts in Belgium . These are the six poems censored in France from the collection of poems Les Fleurs du Mal , published in 1857 , plus 17 new poems. The frontispiece shows a picture by Félicien Rops , which is probably based on a design by Félix Bracquemond for the second edition, but not used. This publication is also being prosecuted in France.
