Top copy - BRETON (André). The lamp in the clock. Frontispiece by Toyen. P., Robert Marin, "Collection l'Âge d'Or" directed by Henri Parisot, (1948), in-12 with very large margins, br. A strictly as issued copy with all margins, green printed cover illustrated with a black and white photographic reproduction of a collage by Toyen. Second cover, at the size of the witnesses, filled and not bound, printed in black on Arches vellum. Rare first edition. Limited edition of 2350 copies plus a few copies out of trade. 1/250 copy of the first edition (and not 350 as indicated in the justification), with the original lithograph by Toyen, printed in red on Arches volant. Deemed defective by Breton, this first edition was destroyed, except for the 250 copies of the first edition on Arches, printed at the same date, which were well distributed. It seems that it was the omission from the press service copies of the author's photograph at the Château de La Coste that provoked Breton's decision to have them destroyed.
