SENGHOR (Léopold Sédar) - CHAGALL (Marc). Elegy of the Trade Winds. [Paris]: Éditions du Seuil, [1969]. — In-4, 283 x 224: 25 pp., (3 leaves, last one blank), 1 plate, printed cover. Unbound, cover pasted on. First edition of this work by Léopold Sédar Senghor, dedicated to his wife Colette (1925–2019). This poem is at once a personal lament, a reflection on time, and an affirmation of Negritude, in which Senghor transforms pain into art and absence into poetic presence. The edition is illustrated with an original lithograph by Marc CHAGALL (1887–1985), printed separately from the text. Limited edition of 450 copies on Arches vellum (no. 166). Very well-preserved copy.
