Each copy bears the autograph signature of the author and the artist at the justification. NAME OF THE COPY, SPECIALLY PRINTED FOR PAUL JOUVE, enriched with a very beautiful original drawing in charcoal and pencil, representing a lion and signed in red by the artist. It was realized on a folio (450 x 328 mm) of wove paper of Holland. A very well preserved copy despite some soiling to the folder and the case.
