Premier et unique numéro de cette revue des élèves du lycée Chaptal fréquenté par André Breton et Théodore Fraenkel et animée par René Hilsum, dans laquelle André Breton publie ses deux premiers poèmes : « Le rêve », daté de septembre 1911 et « Eden », daté d'avril 1912, tous deux signés de l'anagramme d'André Breton : René Dobrant.
Le second poème est dédié à Albert Keim, professeur de lettres d'André Breton qui exerça sur lui une grande influence littéraire.
Selon les rédacteurs du fonds André Breton conservé à la Bibliothèque Jacques Doucet : "Il n'existe pas de superlatif pour décrire la rareté de cette revue dont on ne connaît actuellement que 5 exemplaires". (www.andrebreton.fr)
[JOINT] : Lettre autographe signée à Maurice Martin du Gard directeur de la revue Les Écrits Nouveaux, datée "7 avril" 1918.
2 pp. sur un double feuillet demi-deuil (194 x 147 mm). Breton adresse à Maurice Martin du Gard un « petit conte ancien » qu’il publia, en 1912, dans « Vers l’Idéal », sous le pseudonyme anagrammique René Dobrant. Si le texte, comme le devine Breton, « ne mérite guère (…) de figurer dans les Écrits Nouveaux », il y publiera un premier poème « L’Or » dès le mois de juillet et sera un contributeur occasionnel de la revue
