There are two states of the cover of Parallèlement. The publisher, Ambroise Vollard had sent the text to be printed at the Imprimerie Nationale, whose authorities had only the title of the book and had assumed they were printing a geometry textbook. After the French government uncovered that the book contained depictions of lesbian imagery, the book was immediately recalled and Vollard was forced replace the original vignette of the Imprimerie nationale bearing the image of the French Republic with another vignette by Bonnard. This lot includes the replacement vignette by Bonnard on the cover.
