In 1887 publisher and bibliophile Paul Gallimard asked Rodin to illustrate his personal 1857 edition of Charles Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil, and in 1918 he published this facsimile. The illustrations constitute a summary of Rodin’s graphic production in the 1880s, including three examples of his "black drawings," so-called for the darkness of their content and ink wash.
