Troisieme Cahiers De Colette. En Tournee Et Music-Hall. Avec 6 Lithos De Luc-Albert Moreau
Les Amis de Colette, 1935. Spine sun-tanned, with some tanning to wrapper edges also. Faint cup outline to front waxpaper wrapper. Withal, a unique VG+ copy. Illustrated with 6 lithographs by Luc-Albert Moreau. Of the 2 main parts herein, the first, "Music Hall", contains "La Tranformiste"...per Norell, "an interesting text for the modern reader because it depicts a phenomenon no longer seen on the stage: a woman whose performance consists of dressing up as different people or as different human types one after the other. " Furthermore, also according to Norell, this publication contains the only printed appearance of "Un Faune" [pictured]. Evidently a fairly uncommon item on the commercial market, with a search of ABPC showing it last at auction in 1993.
