Max JACOB. Autograph poem signed, À la mémoire de Guillaume Apollinaire, [1919]; 1 1/2 pages in-fol. Important poem in tribute to Apollinaire, published in January 1919 in the triple issue, "composé à la mémoire de Guillaume Apollinaire", of Pierre Albert-Birot's SIC magazine (no. 37-38-39). It was collected in L'Homme de cristal (1967, p. 119). The poem is in two parts of 22 and 25 lines: "Of the two children falling on the sea from the gulf to the rocks by the annealed sun to white palaces teeming with ivy one is Guillaume and the other Cupid"... The manuscript, carefully cleaned up in black ink, was used for printing; the 2nd sheet had been glued to the end of the first by a small strip of gummed paper. An annotation for the typographers has been added at the head in red ink. On the back, the signature of Pierre Albert-Birot, who affixed his PAB stamp to the 2 leaves.
