Description

Undated manuscript, signed by André Breton, relating to the pewter plate engraved by Verlaine and Jarry.

The pewter plate referred to here is in Breton's collection; a reproduction of it was published in Le Surréalisme, même. Rachilde, the dedicatee of this work of art, was also an important figure in Symbolism, a friend of Gourmont, and a columnist for the Mercure. In a similar way as in the exhibition of Symbolist Drawings in 1958, Breton here offers a way of acknowledging the artistic world of his early youth, which he had already praised in the Entretiens radiophoniques with André Parinaud in the early 1950s.
