[FLYER]. Open Letter to Mr. Paul Claudel, French Ambassador to Japan. Paris, July 1, 1925. — One folio sheet, 270 x 210. Famous leaflet printed in black on oxblood-colored paper, directed against Paul Claudel. Signed by Aragon, Artaud, Bousquet, Breton, Crevel, Desnos, Éluard, Ernst, Leiris, Limbourg, A. Masson, Péret, Ribemont-Dessaignes, Soupault, Vitrac, etc., this is a scathing response by the Surrealists and a few others to Claudel’s interview with *Il Secolo*, published in the journal *Comedia* on June 17, 1925, in which he notably made an insulting comparison between Surrealism and pederasty. (See the website andrebreton.fr.) This leaflet, folded in four, was distributed at the Saint-Pol-Roux banquet at the Closerie des Lilas on July 2, 1925. A rare copy that was not distributed, in perfect condition, with no traces of folding. A second copy, bearing the marks left by the folds, is included.
