Jean-Paul SARTRE. *Nourritures*, followed by excerpts from *Nausea*. Drypoint engravings by Wols. Paris, Jacques Damase, 1949. In-12, paperback, padded cover, with the title printed on a rectangle of paper mounted on the front cover. Partially original edition. Limited edition of 450 copies printed on pure-fiber paper from Papeteries Johannot (no. 413). The volume includes three drypoint engravings by Wols, not part of the main text. During the war, from 1942 to 1945, Wols was taken in by Henri-Pierre Roché at his home in Dieulefit. Upon his return to Paris in 1945, his work was exhibited at the René Drouin Gallery, but his financial situation was extremely precarious. He met Sartre that same year; Sartre supported him financially and, according to Simone de Beauvoir, even rented him a room at the Hôtel des Saints-Pères. “Sartre was one of the first to recognize Wols’s genius, enthused by his work, which he found comparable to what he had seen in the United States. As early as 1946, he asked him to illustrate his texts with engravings” (Michel Sicard in *Sartre*, Bibliothèque nationale de France, 2005, p. 212). Spine worn.
