Description
First edition of this amusing collection of light verse about travel, one of fifty numbered copies printed on Chiffon de Moirans wove paper. A UNIQUE COPY, ILLUSTRATED THROUGHOUT WITH ASTONISHING ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY JULES PASCIN, EXECUTED WITH A MATCH AND A NAIL. The drawings--lively, funny, and extremely irreverent, and yet entirely relevant to the poems they illustrate--reveal Pascin to be at the height of his powers. At the end, a note in Pascin's hand: "à Pierre Humbourg / ces dessins faits / avec un clou / et une allumette / Pascin". Large 12mo. Original printed blue wraps. ENTIRELY UNCUT, with large margins. FINE AND BRIGHT. Unique, important, and absolutely stunning.
