GROSS, Anthony (1905-1984) et Jean COCTEAU (1889-1963)
Les Enfants terribles. Paris, Les Cent Une, 1936.

Édition illustrée de sept eaux-fortes originales d'Anthony Gross, dixième publication de la société de femmes bilbiophiles Les Cent Une. Exemplaire enrichi d'une suite des eaux-fortes signée par l'artiste. Intellectuelle avant-gardiste russe et collaboratrice à la maison Gallimard, la princesse Schakhowskoy fonda en 1926 une société de bibliophilie exclusivement féminine, qu'elle appela les Cent Une en réponse à la société de bibliophilie Les Cent. Lors d'un dîner, alors qu'un invité doutait qu'elle puisse trouver beaucoup de femmes intéressées par les livres, elle répliqua : "J’en trouverai non cent mais cent une". En quelques mois, les cent une sociétaires avaient été réunies autour de la baronne de Brimont, écrivaine et arrière-petite fille de Lamartine, qui prit la présidence de l'association. En 1951, pour le vingt-cinquième anniversaire de la société, Jean Cocteau dédia un blason aux Cent Une. Depuis sa création jusqu'à aujourd'hui, la société publie un livre tous les deux ans. Carteret, Illustrés, IV, p. 107.

In-4 (290 x 230 mm). Tirage limité à 130 exemplaires, celui-ci le n° 24, imprimé pour Madame Dyer, chaque exemplaire signé par la présidente et la vice-présidente de l'association, à savoir la baronne de Brimont et la Princesse Schakhowskoy.
