Vickers, Hugo (ed.) Alexis, The Memoirs of Baron de Redé. First Edition. 2004. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition.
This book, a cross between a memoir and monograph, is the story of one of the most glamorous members of international society. It could as easily be called “The Fêtes of Baron de Redé,” because the Baron hosted the great parties of his era, and this book is filled with images from them, including the Surrealist, Proustian, and Oriental balls. It was never published in the U.S. and any printing is difficult to find. However, this first printing is more desirable among collectors. It has an error (a point) corrected in later printings—the photo caption on page 144 misidentifies Baby Jane Holzer, who is standing with Andy Warhol, as Empress Farah Dibah of Iran.
