Guillaume APOLLINAIRE. Calligrammes. Poems of Peace and War (1913–1916). With a portrait of the author by Pablo Picasso. Paris, Mercure de France, 1918. In-8, red half-maroquin, woodgrain paper covering the boards edged with red maroquin and a gold fillet, title on a strip of maroquin of the same shade inserted on the front cover, untrimmed, gilt top, cover and spine preserved, slipcase (P.L. Martin, 1956). First edition. “Some of the finest war poems in any language are brought together in this collection, alongside experimental works such as *Les Fenêtres* (close to Cubism) and *La Jolie Rousse*, which were far ahead of their time” (Cyril Connolly, *100 Key Books of Modern Literature*, no. 32). A copy on brown-tinted paper, as is customary, but in fine condition.
