MAN RAY - PRASSINOS (Gisèle). La Sauterelle arthritique. With a preface by Paul Eluard and a photograph by Man Ray [pasted on the frontispiece]. P., GLM, "Douze", 1935, 8°, br., uncut. Original edition printed in 125 copies, numbered 1/25 of the head on Normandy vellum. Sixth book in the "Douze" collection, each printed in 125 copies. The collection opens with a famous photograph by Man Ray, showing the Surrealist group around Prassinos: J.-M. Prassinos, Breton, Parisot, Eluard, Péret and Char, in 1934. It was in 1934 that Mario Prassinos introduced his younger sister, then aged fourteen, to the Surrealists, to whom she gave readings of texts composed using the automatic method, which would earn her recognition and consecration. André Breton published some of the precocious girl's texts in the magazine Minotaure. "La Sauterelle arthritique" was her first collection. A fine copy.
