[BERTHOMME SAINT-ANDRE] – A. de M. (Alfred de Musset) - Gamiani or two nights of excess.

Slnd (Henri Pasquinelli, ca 1940), Edition produced by the care and for the exclusive benefit of the "Vrais Amateurs Romantiques" (Group of Bibliophiles), 1 vol. in-4° (325 x 205 mm) paperback under folded cream mute cover, cardboard folder, spine of parchment paper and covers of red paper, and cardboard slipcase covered with red paper, 101 pp. – (1) f. (proof).

Slipcase slightly faded, foxing on the parchment paper on the backs of the cardboard folders, small tear without loss at the bottom of the spine, otherwise a very fine copy.

20 color lithographs inset and 14 black lithographs in the text, very loose, unsigned but by Berthommé Saint-André.

Printed in 697 copies, 1 of the 50 leading copies reimposed on Arches laid paper (No. 10) with all the suites printed by hand press on Tonkin paper (after 2 copies on Tonkin paper reserved to the President and Vice-President).

The copy therefore contains a suite in black of the 20 insets with remarks kept in a blue paper sleeve and slipped into the same cardboard sleeve as the text, and a suite of the 14 in-text lithographs on 12 very large fold-out sheets with very important remarks kept in a separate cardboard folder; the 2 shirts are presented in a common case.
