Ink inscription on the verso of the preceding leaf Footnotes: Provenance Germaine Krull (consignment) Augusto Frederico Schmidt (consignment) Sale, Sotheby's, Paris, Livres et Manuscrits, 15 December 2020, lot 133 Private collection, France acquired from the above Sold with Annie Guédras certificate of authenticity dated 1 February 2021 The anonymous publication of the text in 1928 caused a scandal. For this illustrated edition, Jean Cocteau appears here only as the illustrator of the work and not as its author. He acknowledges his authorship half-heartedly in a text reproduced in facsimile concerning the illustration: 'It has been said that Le Livre blanc was my work. I suppose that's why you asked me to illustrate it, and why I agreed [...] But whatever good I think of this book -- if it were mine -- I wouldn't want to sign it because it would take the form of an autobiography, and I reserve the right to write my own, which is even more singular. So I'm content to give my stamp of approval to this anonymous effort to clear a field that has remained too uncultivated. May 1930. Jean Cocteau' For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
