Leur Silhouettes. Jean-Paul Sartre, Les Mains Sales au theatre Antoine. Dessins de Dadzu.
Paris: Imprimerie Saint-Denis, [1948]. Original Wraps. Small rubricated folder of eight caricature-portraits of the cast, a ninth counting the one of Sartre on the cover. The eight portraits were printed on glazed alkaline paperstock, no indication that this a complete set but they fit the folder nicely. Folder has split along spinefold and is nearly detached, dust and mild edgewear to both covers, and a faint erasure; portrait stock glaze has decayed and covers one's fingertips with white powder. As is, and oh yes, one other flaw: Dadzy portrays Sartre without his wall-eye, the eyes as shown are both open and directed forward.
Item has a colophon of sorts; on a flap built into back cover, read this text: "Ce fascicule, le premier de la collection 'Leurs Silhouettes', a ete tire a mille exemplaires dont 250 constituant l'edition originale numerotes de 1 a 250" -- our copy not numbered.
