Paul Valery. Studies. Portraits. Documents.... - Lot 224 - Les ventes Damien Voglaire SRL
Paul Valery. Studies. Portraits. Documents. Biographies. P., La Revue Le Capitole, 1926, large 8°, br. with filled cover (cover soiled, small tears at the end of the spine, slightly uncropped). Partly first edition, including notes, thoughts and unpublished letters of Paul Valéry, as well as unpublished studies devoted to Paul Valéry and his work by René Boylesve, Emile Borel, Benjamin Crémieux, René Fernandat, Valéry Larbaud, Frédéric Lefèvre, Henri Massis, Francis de Miomandre, Henri Rambaud, André Rousseaux, Paul Souday, Ronald Davis and Raoul Simonson. Edition illustrated with a portrait of Paul Valéry and 15 chapter heads and 15 woodcuts drawn and engraved by Székély de Doba. Limited edition of 947 copies, numbered 1/6 Arches vellum, 2nd paper after 5 Chine, specially edited for Ronald Davis, including the woodcuts in color, 4 additional portraits of Paul Valéry including 3 drypoints by Székély de Doba, 5 original etchings in color by Székély de Doba, the reproduction of a drawing by the author with his autograph signature and, between pages 28 and 29, the reproduction of a handwritten page enriched with drawings in color by Valéry. This content differs with the justification which announces in particular "a page of sketch engraved on copper and an unpublished drawing of Paul Valéry signed by the author". The sketch page is not engraved on copper, and what is signed is the reproduction of a drawing and not an original drawing.
