PICASSO (Pablo) - SUARÈS (André). Hélène chez Archimède. Paris: Nouveau cercle parisien du livre, 1955. - In-folio, 450 x 330: (2 blank ff.), 198 pp. (7 last blank ff.), printed cover. Leaves, filled cover, publisher's folder and slipcase. Edition of 240 copies on wove paper, illustrated with 22 wood-engraved compositions by Pablo PICASSO (1881-1973), two in the text and 20 full-page. One of 140 copies reserved for Society members and collaborators, this one bearing number 72, printed for bookbinder and publisher Henri Creuzevault. A precious copy with one of the 250 suites of illustrations on Montval-Maillol vellum. They were published separately under the title 21 dessins de Picasso gravés sur bois (the two figures in the text being on the same plate), and are not mentioned in the book's justification. The suite in the present copy is numbered 24 and is one of the first 25 accompanied by another suite of the same compositions on tinted Montval vellum. The whole is preserved in sheets under a printed cover in a portfolio with a publisher's slipcase. This first edition suite is now almost impossible to find. Some defects to the slipcases. Provenance : Henri Creuzevault. - Colette Creuzevault.
