JACOB (Max). Le Cabinet noir. Letters with Commentary. Paris: Bibliothèque des marges, 1922. — In-16, 142 x 95: 106 pp., (3 ff.), printed cover. First edition of this collection of “more or less imaginary” letters followed by commentary, in which Jacob paints “a satirical portrait of society in general, of provincial life, and of its sometimes sordid bourgeoisie” (Gallimard). A copy from the standard print run, given by the author to André Gide, featuring this lovely autographed dedication on the first blank page: To André Gide // whose approval is enough to // honor me. // Max Jacob. The copy is in very good condition despite the spine being slightly faded.
