Superbe exemplaire sur pur chiffon Isle de France, tel que paru, de l’édition originale de ce livre hommage de Jean Cocteau à son ami Picasso. Les textes de ce recueil publié à l’occasion du 80e anniversaire de Picasso, tous signés par Cocteau, ont été réunis à l’initiative de son éditeur, Pierre Bertrand. Il débute par une touchante préface de Cocteau : « trente années d’échanges n’ont pu diminuer le respect que je te porte et la crainte que j’éprouve lorsque je pense que mon travail affrontera ton œil Perce-Neige. Aussi ne faut-il pas, indique-t-il, chercher dans ce livre la moindre parole de juge, mais le simple témoignage d’un ami ». Goeppert-Cramer, Picasso, n° 117. Un des 25 exemplaires numérotés de XXVI à L sur papier pur chiffon à la main Isle de France, exécutés spécialement et à la main par A.-G. Cabrol, filigranés aux signatures de Picasso et de Cocteau, celui-ci le n°XXXVIII. Exemplaire signé au crayon par l’auteur et l’artiste.

En feuilles, sous couverture de papier carton remplié, illustrée d’une lithographie de Picasso, imprimée en gris et vert et découpée en forme d’un profil de tête avec le titre imprimé sur une feuille de papier vélin sur le front. Chemise et étui de l’éditeur (légers frottements à la chemise et l’étui). L’exemplaire comprend également l’emboîtage original de l’éditeur en carton.
