- le prospectus illustré ;
- une épreuve en noir de l’eau-forte Les amies de Montmartre, avec deux cachets indiquant « gravure en noir devant-être tirée en couleurs au repérage ».
Reliure de Noulhac, datée 1912 : maroquin vert sombre, plats et dos ornés d’un riche décor mosaïqué de têtes de faunes et de fillettes en maroquin brun, fauve, rouge et crème, entourées de feuillages en mosaïques de maroquin havane et de pointillés dorés, doublures de maroquin havane avec encadrement de listels Art nouveau en maroquin ébène et ardoise et d’un filet doré, garde de moire verte, doubles gardes de papier marbré, couverture conservée, tranches dorées sur témoins.
