4to (253 × 194 mm). (12) ff. Half white box with bands, smooth spine gilt-lettered with author, artist, and collection number; binding attributable to Pierre-Lucien Martin.
First edition, illustrated with an original lithograph by Giacometti. Edition limited to 70 copies, all signed by the publisher; this is no. 25.
The present binding closely resembles that executed for Henri Paricaud in 1975 on Maximes by Nicolas de Staël and Pierre Lecuire, sharing the same restrained modernist aesthetic.
A superb copy, clean and beautifully preserved — an excellent example of this rare GLM collaboration between Tristan Tzara, central figure of Dada and the avant-garde, and Alberto Giacometti.
