Desire caught by the tail

1941

Éditions Gallimard, NRF, Paris

Volume dimensions: 31.5 x 23.5 cm

This booklet is a facsimile of the sketchbook used by Picasso to write his text accompanied by drawings indicating the settings

Limited edition, estimated at 50 unjustified copies, mostly with a mailing for which Picasso mischievously indulges in not signing his name but writing "hommage de l'auteur". Exceptionally, this copy includes a signed autograph letter from Picasso.

Condition : Folder in very good condition. Book in good condition despite yellowed pages and some foxing
