From AI: A rare and beautiful union of American poetry and European modernist art, this 1919 edition of Calamus presents Walt Whitman’s celebrated poems of male intimacy in a powerful French translation by Léon Bazalgette. Accompanied by 10 striking woodcut illustrations from Frans Masereel, a pioneer of the wordless novel, the volume merges lyrical transcendence with visual force. Published by Éditions du Sablier in the wake of World War I, this edition reflects both the humanism and quiet defiance of two artistic giants. A sought-after treasure for collectors of Whitman, Masereel, or early 20th-century illustrated poetry.
