Un des 175 exemplaires sur vélin d’Arches, celui-ci le n°78 (légers reports, rares piqûres, infime manque de papier dans l’angle inférieur droit de la page 15). Reliure signée de Georges Cretté en box blanc, plats et dos ornés d’un décor de filets dorés et au palladium formant une étoile à cinq branches d’où partent des rais de lumière dans toutes les directions, se poursuivant sur le dos lisse, lettre dorée, doublure et gardes de daim bleu ciel, tranches dorées, chemise de demi-maroquin bleu à bande, étui (dos de la chemise passé, usures à la chemise et à l’étui).
