The engravings are not numbered, with the exception of the lithograph by Corneille. The Charchoune woodcut is signed "S. C." by a hand other than that of the artist, who died in 1975. EXEMPLAIRE OF THE POET AND PUBLISHER PIERRE LECUIRE (1922-2013), enriched with two autograph letters signed and addressed to him, one from Mireille Pan, the author's widow, the other from his daughter Sophie Pan. Mireille's letter is dated December 21, 1978, and accompanied the copy: "à Pierre Lecuire sans lequel ce livre ne serait pas". The second is dated April 9, 1979, and refers to the exhibition in tribute to Imre Pan that took place at the Editions de l'Hermitage gallery from March 2, 1979: "I read the text you (sic) wrote for my guest book and I am very touched [...] It will be for me a very beautiful memory of this exhibition, of my father and his friends who helped the book to appear. I'm delighted that we were able to pay such a beautiful tribute to my father." Pierre Lecuire also enclosed two copies of the invitation to the exhibition opening. A very well preserved copy. Provenance : Pierre Lecuire.
