Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Pablo Picasso (illustrator). First edition. 1/140. 198, [6, table; colophon]pp. Loose in 22 fascicles within lettered paper sleeve, housed in publisher's board chemise and slipcase. With 22 original woodcuts after drawings by Pablo Picasso (20 loose within the fascicles; 2 in-text at opening and close). Uncut. Copy no. 136, being one of 140 copies reserved for members of the Society and its collaborators. Flawless set, housed in fine chemise and very good slipcase (with some light rubbing and a few faint stains). The prints were commissioned by Ambroise Vollard in 1925 to illustrate André Suarès' play, Hélène chez Archimède; they were left unpublished after Vollard's death in 1939. One of the most important dealers in French contemporary art at the beginning of the twentieth century, Vollard provided support and exposure to many then-unknown artists: Paul Cézanne; Aristide Maillol; Pierre-Auguste Renoir; Louis Valtat; André Derain; Georges Rouault; Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh. After 1994 Vollard began to directly commission print series from the best artists of the day, intended as limited editions for collectors. He was also active in publishing illustrated books for bibliophiles; he promoted twenty-two such projects between 1900 and 1939. While conceived in 1925, the present project was not brought to fruition until 1955. The first fascicle contains the folded single-sheet menu for a dinner at the Nouveau Cercle de la Rue Royale, 288 boulevard Saint-Germain, held on 22 October 1955 (Pouilly-Fuissé 1952; Château Sigognac 1947; Champagne brut Comte de Fersen -- oh my!). The front and back of the menu are illustrated with the two in-text woodcuts which appear at the opening and close of the play. This would appear to be a rare, ephemeral item. We have located only one other portfolio offered for sale which notes the menu, and it does not appear in any of the library descriptions of Hélène chez Archimède we have been able to survey online. Reference: Monod II - 10485.
