"The Image" by Jean de Berg, published by Grove Press, Inc. in 1966, is a First Evergreen Black Cat Edition. This edition, released in 1967, offers a unique glimpse into the provocative world of French erotica, translated from the French by Patsy Southgate with a preface by Pauline Réage. Known for its exploration of sensuality and psychological depth, "The Image" stands as a significant work within its genre. This edition is noted for its first printing status, making it a collector's item for those interested in mid-20th-century literary erotica. The book is bound in a softcover format, typical of Grove Press's Black Cat series, and is in fair condition with visible wear on the cover. While the book is not signed, its scarcity and influence in literary circles make it a noteworthy addition to any collection of erotica or French literature.
