Description
JARRY (Alfred), DRAINS (Géo. A.) Gestes suivis des paralipomènes d'Ubu.
A pearl of black satire, where the absurd vies with the grotesque, sublimated by the delirious compositions of Géo. A. Drains.
Paris, Éditions du Sagittaire, Simon Kra, 1920 [Completed printing 22 February 1921].
1 vol. in-16 square (148 x 155 mm). Full black morocco, smooth spine, title authors and date in red and gold lettering, red suede lining. Entirely untrimmed, covers and spine preserved. Binding signed M. J. Guian-Milliaud.
152 pp, (6 ff. last blank), 7 plates including frontispiece, illustrated cover. Slight transfers.
First edition produced under the direction of André Malraux, illustrated with 7 original etchings by the illustrator Géo. A. Drains, including a colour frontispiece and 6 hors-texts.
There are also 3 illustrations in red and black by the same illustrator, one framing the text on all even-numbered pages, another for the odd-numbered pages and a third on a double page for the false titles.
