BRETON (André). The Lamp in the Clock. Toyen's forehead. P., Marin, "The Golden Age", 1948, in-12, br., uncut. Photo of Breton taken in the park of the château de La Coste. Original edition. Ex. of the press service. Judged defective by Breton, this first print was destroyed. The 250 copies of the first print run on Arches, completed at the same date, were well distributed. It seems that it was the oblivion in the copies of the press service of the author's photograph at the château de La Coste that caused Breton's decision to have them rammed. A second ex. also in the press service / IDEM is attached. L'Amour fou. P., NRF, "Métamorphoses", 1937, in-12, br. (cracked back, stained leg. cover).
