SCHMIED (François-Louis) - IMBERT (José). Light and darkness. With a Message from Dr. J.-C. Mardrus. Paris: Les Amis de José Imbert, 1932. - In-8, in sheets, printed cover, folder and publisher's case. Original edition of only 150 copies printed on pearly japanese paper, illustrated with an illuminated etching by François-Louis SCHMIED, signed in the plate, accompanied by a black proof. One of the 100 copies out of trade, this one justified "copy of author", enriched under the justification of this beautiful sending of the author addressed to his friend Lucien Buccholz : To my dearest and faithful friend // Lucien Buccholz, infant of // Calliope. // A modest proselyte of the gentle Polymnie. // Very affectionately. // José Imbert // Paris, January 12, 1933. Enclosed is a portrait of the author dedicated by Germaine Imbert to "Maître Buccholz, l'ami sincère de mon cher disparu" (Master Buccholz, the sincere friend of my dearly departed), accompanied by the manuscript quatrain of which Madame Imbert wrote the first verse following her dedication. A very well preserved copy despite the back of the shirt being faded.
