A scarce French Edition of Dante's La Divine Comédie, or The Divine Comedy, illustrated in a suite of six portfolios by artist Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904-1989), including half (50x) of a set of (100x) loose woodblock prints initially present within the portfolios. Each is noted to be Épreuve d'Artiste (EA) editions, marked as such in the lower left-hand corner and signed in the lower right-hand corner; a scarcity with most examples bearing no signatures; the partial set may be a compilation from other sets. A brief mention of a few of the titles present includes roughly equal distribution between L’Enfer, Le Purgatoire, and Le Paradis, or Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise/Heaven, contained within original separate boxed slip cases. The prints all appear in excellent condition, and their slip cases show light wear commensurate with age, including discoloration or yellowing and some marks on the corners and edges. Each measures approximately 11.25" x 2.5" x 14" tall.
