Description
ÉLUARD (Paul) and Benjamin PÉRET. 152 proverbs brought up to date. Paris, La Révolution surréaliste, 1925. In-12 booklet, paperback. First edition. Copy enhanced by a signed autograph dedication from both authors: To Maurice Martin du Gard, dance reigns over the white wood. The recipient of this dedication, Maurice Martin du Gard, founder of *Les Nouvelles Littéraires*, maintained close ties at the time with the leading figures of Parisian artistic life. This joint dedication by Paul Éluard and Benjamin Péret predates the fierce controversies which, from the following year onwards, would pit the Surrealists against a section of the literary press. Sun-faded cover.
